We Have 12 Years to Limit Climate Change Catastrophe, Warns UN

As we continue our transformative work in many climate-related disaster areas and high risk areas, such at Dominica, Puerto Rico, and throughout Florida, the Carolinas, the numbers of climate refugees are aleady mounting.  Getting back from the Global Resilience Transformation meeting in Italy, it is clear that there are constructive approaches that can be taken now to transform our dirty and dangerous petro political economy to a green political economy.  However, transformation will likely require overcoming substantially capitalized industries that will attempt to maintain a destructive status quo, even if it means the destruction of the planet and mass die-offs.  

We are now beyond the point of diminishing returns from the petro political economy.  We know that climate-resilient communities of opportunity are already feasible.  Trillions of dollars are being divested from oil and gas, dirty utilities and other petro-dependent businesses.  We are entering the era of mass investment and scaling up of green tech and trade.
