The author lays into us and tells a difficult truth. We are all complicit, but some may just be sociopathic. If people in power do the opposite of what is necessary for humanity‘s survival, there must be a special place reserved for them.

Sadly we‘ve become a fragmented world.

This book recounts an infuriating history from the 1970s to 1990s when politicians failed humanity and scientists failed to express our existential crisis in a meaningful, change inducing way. This was published in 2019 when politics in the US were at an all-time low for the environment. Our current president has made some advances to implement a “Green New Deal” through the IRA and BIL legislation. I hope these efforts start to make a difference.

Cosmos_Moon_River I don‘t mean the posts about this to be political, just honest. I can‘t help myself in following with a few quotes coming next. 3mo
Vansa @Cosmos_Moon this is actually not just political, it's about the only home we have and how our attitude towards it's destruction is 🤷🏾‍♀️ 3mo
Cosmos_Moon_River @Vansa 100% I agree 💚 It is about science and taking care of our home. Sadly so much of it has become tangled in politics and profit. I work in the sustainability field and so much of this breaks my heart every day to think of the world my children may live in. We are all responsible. 3mo
