Climate scientists have failed to meet their social responsibilities: to clearly, fully, and accurately inform society about the GHG crisis.
-
In this open letter I urge concerned parents to assist their children’s environmental activism by providing mature strategic guidance.

I am a 71-year-old thinker who sees his own death on the horizon. I therefore want to confess my greatest sin: when analyzing the ecological crisis I have committed thoughtcrimes. Specifically, I have used facts, logic, and an independent mind when I should have trusted the IPCC, the Guardian, and the other representatives of the Party and Big Brother. As George Orwell might have said in 1984, I am an environmental thought-criminal.

If you are concerned about the ecological crisis you undoubtedly know that, four decades ago, Exxon scientists warned about “potentially catastrophic events” from rising concentrations of greenhouse gases (GHGs). You are presumably outraged that the corporation buried these warnings and then funded disinformation campaigns to prevent rational action.
-
Progressivism can fight effectively for social justice, but not for ecological survival. A new movement is required to complement progressive initiatives.
-
The young need an advocate to protect their ecological interests. Currently they are at the mercy of older generations who are protecting the status quo.
-
Young people, you have been brutally betrayed. Since the 1970s the international community has repeatedly vowed to keep GHG concentrations within safe limits and to protect the environment for future generations. But concentrations are now at catastrophic levels and the environment is rapidly collapsing.
-
The international community has broken its repeated vows to avoid unsafe GHG concentrations. "Net-zero emissions" is the latest instance of this betrayal.

Humankind is existentially threatened due to our unique brain, the capitalist decision to ignore overshoot, and the people's non-response to this decision.This is the first post in a series that will deepen and extend my current work.Original PostWebsite: ecologicalsurvival.org
