I do believe that [climate change] is real.
On this 50th Earth Day, we face a crisis unknown to those who gathered on the first Earth Day - the climate crisis.
The reality is that a consumer culture which chucks out its iPhones for a new version every nine months is completely unsustainable, because Earth has already reached the tipping point. 'The General Strike' attempts to personalize these issues and encourage listeners to look for a new model.
Science has failed our mother Earth.
Human use, population, and technology have reached that certain stage where mother Earth no longer accepts our presence with silence.
We have arrived at a moment of decision. Our home - Earth - is in grave danger. What is at risk of being destroyed is not the planet itself, of course, but the conditions that have made it hospitable for human beings.
I was always aware that this whole Earth is on overload.
The planet will continue to cook.
Science is triumphant with far-ranging success, but its triumph is somehow clouded by growing difficulties in providing for the simple necessities of human life on earth.
We are in this time of corporations being so greedy and global. Some people want to call it the apocalypse. When I was born it was half the people on the planet. It has doubled in my life time. This is not sustainable for the earth; of course we are going somewhere. So we have to live preciously, we have to live each day with care!
Mother Earth is in pain and ailing because of global warming.
I think Australia is pretty much living the last day on Earth in a lot of ways.
