That is easily said, I know, when besides our total immersion in and dependency on it, the sheer magnitude of the Problem makes it extremely difficult (for most people, impossible), too terrifying, to face up to.
The default response is to keep one's head in the sand - which is what our politicians have led us in doing for the past 30 odd years. Only now, the brewing storm is beginning to shake our windows and rattle our doors, so that even with our heads still in the sand we cannot help realizing that something not good is going on out there.
Either we can wait until the approaching Hurricane (and accompanying tsunami) hit and sweep us (or our children) away, or we can lift our heads out of the sand and take stock of the ACTUAL situation. There may still be time for us to save ourselves - and, even more importantly, surely, to save our children and grandchildren.
