He mentiond climate change and pollution , well worth a read IMO
āThe future is really daunting for people in the Maldives ā¦ the climate emergency is an existential threat that overshadows all the other issues.ā
over 40 million people have died of air pollution since I became special rapporteur in 2018, yet I just canāt get people to care.
āI canāt get people to bat an eyelash. Itās like thereās something wrong with our brains that we canāt understand just how grave this situation is.ā
āI think the right to a healthy environment is actually the foundation that we require to enjoy all other human rights. If we donāt have a living, healthy planet Earth, then all the other rights are just words on paper.ā
If we donāt have a living, healthy planet Earth, then all the other rights are just words on paper.
I get his bemusement, just here in Australia, 11,000 die from air pollution from cars annually, another 20,00 are hospitalised annually. The numbers are beyond horrendous and yet, on a scale of 1 to 5 fucks given, itās 0

Speaking for myself, thereās so much going to shit in the world, itās difficult to focus on one particular existential threat.
This, it feels like the mother of all cascade failuresā¦
Most people have the will; but our civilizationās leadership doesnāt have the interest because the status quo serves their needs adequately.
Nothing will change until we have either a full collapse, or a general strike.
What the fuck do you want ME to do about it? Every step I take to help the environment throughout my life, is undone by a billionaire in a day. You want to fix the climate issue? Toss the billionaires into a volcano and give their money to climate science and social programs
