But I’m saying, as an environmentalist, we have failed to shift the narrative and we are still caught up in the same legal, economic and political systems.
For me, what we’ve got to do now is hunker down. The units of survival are going to be local communities, so I’m urging local communities to get together.

It’s never lost completely. The sheer scale of the devastation means that every fraction of a degree might be a million people, or a whole species or ecosystem that survives into the rebuilding, versus dies off and gets replaced.
But yes, it’s going to be bad. Real bad.
I don’t think the environmentalists “failed”. I think corporate greed won.
It’s game over for everything. The machine of ignorance and greed became too powerful because of our naivety and willingness to trust in the people that we were told we should trust.
The world might have been a better place if people admitted some guilt.
