We are now living through that what is an interesting and highly frightening political period.
Just two words sum up many of the problems we are up against:- Brexit and Thrump.
Yet we do need to look at what else is happening in the world, and start thinking beyond the next decade.
Here are just a few of these long term issues summed up in five headlines:-
‘Extraordinary’ levels of pollutants found in 10km deep Mariana trench.
What The New Fukushima Unit 2 Inspection May Indicate.
U.K. nuclear safety regulations place too low a value on human life.
7 million premature deaths annually linked to air pollution.
What worries me is how a lot of people concentrate upon very short term issues, and think about political action[s] in a very seasonal way.
While what is really needed is some long term day by week by month by year by decades long hard slog campaigning, and some major life style changes.
