What I wrote 2 years back with regard to environmental crises and the weakening of the Gulf Stream seems to hold true today:

"Due to immutability of infrastructures; complexities of problem cascades; rivalries of antagonistic state-players; lack of time, there's nothing the average person can do.

The underlying problem is: When you can easily spot these issues then it's already way too late.

And when decades ago people pointed to these issues and they weren't easily observable, most didn't believe them. So one couldn't have effectively done something about these issues back then either.

In fact, the last moment we could have averted this outcome was at the beginning of the 1960s (!) — by creating a different #infrastructure. All we do now will not change what will be our common reality for the next 30-50 years."
