Blindsight
World Environment Day was first celebrated in 1972, a special year: the UN also convened its landmark Conference on the Human Environment in Stockholm, and the Club of Rome published its controversial Limits to Growth report. Together these sounded the first of many severe warnings by scientists that the world was on a dangerous path and needed to change course. But there’s none so blind as those who do not wish to see. So rather than the accumulated wisdom of hindsight, we have nearly 50 years of wilful inaction from blindsight. Can we turn a blind-eye much longer?
