Despite 2023 being the hottest year ever documented, despite records being broken for greenhouse gas levels, ocean heat and acidification, sea level rise, Antarctic sea cover, and glacier retreat, despite the wealthiest among us being overwhelmingly responsible, corporate broadcast news decreased climate coverage by 25%, bringing it to a grand total of less than 1% of total broadcast content.
It's clear that corporate media won't save the day...
So we need to improve our strategies.Â
Understandably, the go-to is often 'degrees of warming,' but 99% of people don't really know what that means. We need to be clear that we're not just talking about hotter weather or more rain. Maintaining business as usual has the potential to lead to Wars, Global Financial Collapse, Famine, Diseases, Hyper Violence, and Mass Death.
Remember, it's not just emissions. We're overshooting 6 out of 9 planetary boundaries that are crucial for the regeneration of life.
Trying to avoid scaring people by not talking about these things has been a huge mistake.
But we can't allow ourselves to fall into despair. We have a responsibility to act!
Degrowth offers actionable narratives filled with hope and strength.
In these critical times, our collective action is more than a choice—it’s a necessity. The challenges we face are daunting, but within them lies the opportunity for profound change as long as we work collectively.
Each effort, each voice, and each step forward contributes to a tide of positive change. You are a vital part of this movement.
Embrace the responsibility with courage and determination. It’s time to act, not just for ourselves but for all the beings on this planet and the generations to come.
Stand up, speak out, and let's create a future where everyone thrives.
Your action today is the hope for our tomorrow.
