“Blood red sky” is a phrase I’ve been reading in news headlines for days. It is alarming but the structures for collective action to be taken on this crisis do not exist, and if we do not build such structures now, we will remain unable to act decisively in fast-unraveling ecosystems. The urgency of our times demands that the comfortable shake themselves out of passivity.
