“We Shall Require a Substantially New Manner of Thinking if Mankind is to Survive” (Einstein 1949)
I observe that, whatever people say about global population falling, the truth. is that it is still expanding. So is pollution, especially from pharmaceutical residues and microplastics (not to mention GHG’s). The GHG’s from armed conflicts round the world is larger than any other single cause. Global warming is limiting food security. The landmass available for agricultural production is shrinking. Einstein was right BUT we still do not change fast enough.
However, there is good work going on. We do have, or are already developing the technology to survive. BUT, we do need to stop wars, stop population growth, start limiting pollution and start thinking survival.
