The Climate Crisis Post 17

The climate crisis and the nature crisis require extensive societal changes. It is not easy to make the math work out.i In any case, the key thing is that you must act based on research, take precautions and be fair. That is far from the case now. The most central thing is to phase out fossil energy and livestock-based agriculture as quickly and globally fairly as possible. Then it does not help with an ever-increasing material consumption. We must be both pragmatic and ambitious. We must put an end to greenwashing and the myths about green transition. It only happens if enough people get involved and understand the seriousness.
