Scientists have been absolutely clear that we MUST make immediate and drastic changes if we are to avoid catastrophic eco-system collapse. But, as Greta Thunberg has said, all we ever get from politicians and industry leaders is more useless blah blah blah…

Political cartoon shows a scientist presenting research conclusions to a pair of politicians, who are both elderly white males. The scientist stands in front of a large chart which says: WE ARE DESTROYING EARTH. The politicians are not impressed. One of them, holding a briefcase bulging with dollars, says, "Thank you. This is very useful information. Be assured that we are thinking about working on solutions. If by around 2050 or so, they appear to be profitable for our corporate sponsors, then at some point after that we might even begin implementing them. You may go now."
