a beautiful, if somber, meditation by nostr:npub1sfe9rpgzxg6rmq9hhht5rpz5c6f54zhh8v27569vlc9rcgs3mwqsq9yp3x on the way the climate crisis has become the primary, underlying threat to us all, whether we acknowledge it or not

"We certainly have been (and still are) transforming the Earth on vast and pitiless scales, in ways that will go on unfolding for millennia. But what is far more pressingly true for us is by altering the planet, we have made our lives no longer what they were."

"Most jarringly, we will have to admit that we have left behind the [the idea] that, through collective action we could bring on an orderly transition to a sustainable society, using adaptation and solidarity to make whole the harms unleashed in the meantime.

That’s over.

We are now in a catastrophe of broken continuity that we cannot resolve (even if we limit its further severity) and that will not be made whole by any action within our power. There is no going back."
