And are we ignoring how much has changed already just a bit in this country at least. I never thought coal energy would go. I never thought electric cars would be possible and the petrol companies would close it down if they were, maybe they will cure the pollution in inner cities eventually. The sale of plastic carrier bags have diminished and paper ones are coming back. Recycling and separation of waste. It is all in its infancy but it is going to keep going. I think one day other sources of clean energy will get invented like cold fusion or something. With a bit of luck someone will invent foolproof leak proof slurry tanks. I don’t know why that has not happened already.
Of course there is a long way to go and it has to happen in every country but I think the next generations are going to be on it in a big way.
What you say is true in a small way. We may recycle but most ends up dumped or sent aboard. Single use bags have been replaced by bags for life which contain even more plastic. Electric cars are only ever going to be available to those that can afford them. Renewable energy can never replace the energy needs of the world.
We are killing this planet and very few are really bothered we would much rather just carry on as normal and blame others.
Judging by the news Global warming is about to rise once again through the actions of the human race.
