The world is on the brink of ecological collapse from "summary" of Confessions of an Economic Hit Man, 3rd Edition by John Perkins
The world is facing a critical moment in its history, a moment where the very foundations of our existence are being threatened. Our planet is on the verge of a catastrophic ecological collapse, brought about by years of unchecked greed and exploitation. We have pushed our environment to its limits, extracting resources at an unsustainable rate and polluting our air, water, and soil with little regard for the consequences. The consequences of our actions are becoming increasingly apparent, with rising sea levels, extreme weather events, and mass extinctions becoming the new norm. Despite the overwhelming evidence of the impending disaster, our leaders continue to prioritize short-term gains over long-term sustainability. They are more concerned with maintaining the status quo and protecting the interests of the powerful few, rather than taking the necessary steps to address the root causes of our ecological crisis. We are running out of time to reverse course and prevent the worst from happening. We must act now, collectively and decisively, to protect our planet and ensure a livable future for generations to come. It is up to each and every one of us to demand change, to hold our leaders accountable, and to make the necessary sacrifices to secure a sustainable future. The choice is ours to make, and the time to act is now.
