Time for Change.

Thanks for coming, I need some help. I have made this site as a Wiki (much the same format as Wikipedia) to try and clarify some ideas about how we might collectively get through this climate crisis.

It is my intention to reference any facts stated to robust regulated scientific papers, however as I'm sure you will find, this site will contain errors large and small. If you find a meaningful factual error, I will correct it, and pay you $10. If you find typos, please let me know but I do not think I will pay you for those. Overall, please let me know either record a voice message below or type on the cryptopad, it is all anonymous. any feedback or suggestions on how I could make this more useful! This is a developing article, if you have time please give me some feedback.

Summary

Society has a big problem. We approaching a climate crisis, however, the majority of us are convinced that we can adopt better consumption patterns to fix the problem. Whilst admirable, recycling plastics or paying charities to reduce people's use of firewood is doing a disservice to the cause. By greenwashing ourselves it temporarily relieves the anxiety intended for a much bigger problem. This website serves as log of an expedition to find something better.

In healthcare, when someone has a stomach ache, you can quickly treat it by going to a pharmacy. The pharmacist can address the immediate problem, indigestion = antacids, diarrhoea = loperamide, pain = analgesics. However whilst the acute symptoms may subside, you have just removed a key bodily warning system which might remind you that something more serious is wrong. The same is to say with our actions to save the environment, whilst well-meaning, not using plastic straws only helps relieve a symptom of a much larger problem. The science of third parties trying to convince you of these facts is not nefarious, there's no James Bond villain stroking his white cat. Its simply that we are living in a society which bases its success on profit. A classic example of greenwashing is when Volkswagen admitted to cheating emissions tests by fitting various vehicles with a “defect” device, with software which could detect when it was undergoing an emissions test and altering the performance to reduce the emissions level.
