If politicians continue to destroy our planet's resources and burn the atmosphere, there may be nowhere left to run as civilisations are reduced to nothing. Chris Johnson writes.
WHEN IN DANGER, humans have a “fight or flight reaction”, built into all humans and many animals on this Earth.
We can adapt to nature: storms, floods, droughts and fires all increasing in size, duration, frequency and devastation. We have – and will – do it by running away today and tomorrow. Humans cannot stand against the forces of nature, but we are now hearing politicians and business leaders saying humanity will or can adapt to human-caused climate change.
We will all run away: from the fires or you burn to death; from the floods or you drown; from hurricanes, better be underground, but not where it's flooding or consequential landslides from excess water; from drought or you die of thirst; and like King Canute, we can resist the ocean levels rise.
As we run away, we leave our civilisation, our social lives and our communities behind, never to be the same again.
