Global Safety Net

The project, called the Global Safety Net, maps out both areas that are already protected, such as national parks, and those that need to be protected to tackle simultaneous crises: climate change and the loss of biodiversity. Is there even 50% left? Protect nature. Make conservation plans.

Implications Of Climate Change For The U.S. Army

A horrific grim future is awaiting us from climate change involving blackouts, disease, thirst, starvation and war. If the US military is pessimistic about their capabilities, what about the rest of the world? They too, will collapse. This could all happen over the next two decades.

Random Thoughts

We are about to commit the biggest intergenerational crime in the history of mankind. We need to bring us together not drive us apart. If you don’t address inequality and climate change, to keep it simple, a lot more people are going to be dissatisfied, feel not included or left behind, and making these choices of rejection at the ballot box. The fact we are having these issues of populism and schisms in society is exactly because we are not addressing the underlying issue to evolve capitalism and make sure it works for everybody.
