A Shift from polluting economics to enlightenment : acting on CODE red for humanity
Abstract
The Intergovernmental
Panel on Climate Change
(IPCC) has released its
report on climate change,
and they have taken the
message under the title ‘Code RED
for Humanity' Whether we are in a
pandemic or not we are in the decade
where we have to collectively
act, and meet critical expectations to
safeguard the planet. Actually the reality
is safeguarding humanity as the
planet would continue in a trajectory
to be the next Venus! Some who are
working in science and technology
are planning to move into Mars when
that happens. However, its not an op-
ipn for most of us. The irony is that
the overseas press gave wide
Publicity to the news from the IPCC,
the local press was almost silent. We
reading developments like mar
kets making merry while the state was
hungry for dollars coming from anywhere.
The idea somehow still is to
ramp up consumption and activities
on all fronts.
