'A Really Bleak Moment'?

The above phrase is used by a scientist to describe the current state of the impending climate crisis (https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2022/oct/27/world-close-to-irreversible-climate-breakdown-warn-major-studies. Recent, key United Nations reports warn that urgent and collective action is required to prevent irreversible breakdown of the planet's climatic conditions. I hate to say it but the chances of urgent and collective action seem to be vanishingly small. Most countries are more obsessed with other things. These include the war in Ukraine. Mid-term elections in the US. A vote off for the Presidency in Brazil. A speed dating version of musical chairs, for the position of the UK Prime Minister. The distribution of massive share dividends for the major petrochemical companies. The changing ownership of Twitter. Most 'economies' are focused on inflation and the associated 'cost of living/energy crises'. Short-termism has never been more obvious. The thing about irreversible is that you only get one shot! Most governments seem to being displaying as much foresight as bacteria in a Petri dish.
