If people were given a short look, just a glimpse, at what the *actual* future will be like only 10 or 20 years from now — we would have a panic on our hands.
But that’s not how life works. We can’t see into the future, and few of us try to imagine it in any detail. Most are too busy, too distracted, or too beaten down by the present.
So we don’t see. We can’t see. We are denied an accurate, honest awareness of how scary and how serious our present predicament is. In reality, it demands urgent drastic action.
And even if we do understand this intellectually, we keep putting off action until later because we’re too busy and too distracted… or maybe because it’s too frightening to think about.

This is all so true, worryingly many of us have seen it coming for decades, the evidence has been there, you just have to open your eyes and ears, but we are constantly bombarded with trivia, and told we have time to mitigate, and what can we do anyway!!!!
We living with #climatechange NOW..….
and yet people still think they are powerless and there's time . Whilst we're not perfect myself and Mr DoubleTreble have been doing what we can for as long as we can, sadly it often feels like screaming into the void 😢
