One of the pushbacks
to dealing with climate change
is the assertion
the climate is always changing.
Sure, there have been
two 100 year floods in the past 2 years
but 100 year floods HAVE happened
in the past.
These climate change deniers
argue the relentless and increasingly wild weather
is a situation,
nothing we can change.
That has been disproved
for over half a decade
but this IS a question we should ask ourselves
– are we dealing with a situation
or a problem?
Seth Godin
shares
“We can also have a conversation
about whether
it’s a problem
(problems have solutions)
or whether
it’s simply a situation,
something like gravity
that we have to live with.”
Is our current problem
solvable?
If it isn’t solvable,
then perhaps we are dealing with
a situation
and we have to live with it.
If it is solvable,
then we should move forward
and implement
the best solution
for our problem.
Note: Climate change WAS solvable
a decade ago.
It could be solvable now.
Eventually, unfortunately,
it will become a situation
and that will be disastrous for all of us.
