Our World Is on Fire. Where to Look?

Our world is on fire and under water at the same time.

We’re living with hard-to-perceive floods, intensifying hurricanes, expanding droughts, and deadlier heat waves.

I’m not here to convince you that climate change – or, rather, our climate emergency – is real. I’m leaving that to the droughts, wildfires, floods, hurricanes, and rising sea levels to do that.

Instead, I give you three questions to keep in mind when we deconstruct the debates around what we’re doing to our planet. These questions both shape the narrative and, in a way, they become the narrative itself:

  • Production vs Consumption
  • Non-military vs Military pollution
  • The Global South vs The Global North

These are not conspiracy theories. Yet they are not often discussed by the mainstream media (also known as businesses).

Please enjoy it, share it if you find it valuable, and find more information on all of it in my article here.
