Future Fridays: 2020 the Time is Now!
I have a notebook where I keep lists
of things to do. I separate the days and
if I don’t get something done that day it goes onto the next day… and just
between you and me there are some things that I have moved day-to-day for
months!
The United Nations Development
Programme says, “Climate Change is the
defining threat of our time. We are in the middle of a climate crisis. But we have the international frameworks, technology and human and financial capital to solve the problem. We must act now.”[1]
In other
words, we cannot keep doing like I do, postponing our actions until
tomorrow. We must act now.
2020 can
and must be a year of change for the global community. We have not only started a new year but a new
decade as well.[2]
20/20 is seeing clearly. We need to see what is happening and not let
non-science cloud our vision.
Let’s elect
people who will make climate change their priority and who will actually enact
laws that make us procrastinators do today
that which absolutely cannot wait until tomorrow.

this footnote, I give a bow to the “technically” correct who say the new decade
starts on the 2021 (i.e. our children).
