Interesting thought for the day, from super-widely-travelled writer and presenter Simon Reeve:
"We lack something crucial in our modern democracies that is essential to future viability, and that is long term thinking.
I worry that we're going
to be a species that gets to the edge of the cliff and doesn't stop.
People just don't get what seven billion human beings can do to the
surface of a relatively small planet like ours.
I don't see any statesmen out there that are really capable of guiding or leading us to a period of sustainable living."
Lets take these words in in conjunction with this update from Global Environmental Outlook.
