Last year we posted a very dark picture of our future. We pointed out that there are three major events within the range of possibility that could end life on earth. To recount: (1) Nuclear war (short term); (2) a global uncontrolled pandemic (intermediate term); and (3) climate change (long term). Since that previous post we are closer to two of those events–nuclear war and climate change. And we have not done any newsworthy effort to head off the next pandemic. Conclusion: With all the intelligence and resources at our total global disposal we continue to move in the wrong direction. While our leaders focus on preserving their own well-being the planet they swore to protect suffers. We can blame many factors for lack of action but the sad truth is none of these events is avoidable NOW. But waiting will not solve them. Ask your candidates in 2024 what their plans are to save the planet. Our guess is most of them have no plans…and you should know that before you cast your vote.
