Climate Crisis: Fixing Systems, Not Symptoms

December 15, 2009

…from WiserEarth

“Climate instability is a symptom of systems that can be fixed. So why does everyone keep trying to fix the symptom?

“Year after year, the list of planet-sized problems gets longer and the problems seem to get worse. Climate is just one of many such problems. Weird, isn’t it, that billions of bright people can collectively make such a stupid mess of things? Einstein offered an explanation, that problems can’t be solved with the same kind of thinking that causes them. People have been trying to sort out climate change and poverty and ecosystem destruction and everything else with habits of thought that unintentionally block any effective solution. Oops!”
