In amongst all the leadership debates/pissing contests there is the small matter of a planet brought to the brink of disaster by a barely evolved population of upright monkeys (in the time-line of the earth we have managed in less than a heartbeat to pretty much undo 3.5 billion years of evolution). It may be controversial but are we really focussing on the important issues? Do we really have the right to maintain the fastest extinction rate ever, in the history of life on the planet, faster than the demise of the dinosaurs.
Forty years after the first Earth Day, the world is in greater peril than ever. While climate change is the greatest challenge of our time, it also presents the greatest opportunity – an unprecedented chance to build a healthy, prosperous, clean energy economy now and for the future.
