Why We Are Done Talking About the Climate

It’s action time. Discussion is simply more delay — exactly what we cannot afford to do.

The 27th COP has been completed. That’s many years of many “important” people talking about the climate and doing nothing. We hear all kinds of debates, really a senseless rehashing of the same empty banter spoken for decades.

Many will still continue to talk. Let them. Those of us who are sane and caring and responsible, those of us who are truly determined to restore a healthy Earth so that our children have some hope for decent lives — WE are done talking.

It’s An Emergency

Talking instead of acting is failure to recognize that we are facing an emergency. Talking instead of taking emergency measures — WE won’t do that.

Talking is insanity. Talking is death. Talking is child abuse. Talking is pissing in the pool. Talking is supporting the worst possible outcome.

We Are Done Listening, Too

Leaders, deniers, delayers and other tiresome fools no longer have our attention. Why protest COP? Why show up where those people are gathering? Why acknowledge failed leaders as if they are legitimate in the very role they continue to fail?
