Well, guess what? It wouldn’t change the green movement’s primary mission. Because while some waste valuable time debating deniers, every 24 hours:
- 13 million tons of toxic chemicals are released across the globe
- Over 100 plant or animal species go extinct
- 200,000 acres of rainforest are destroyed
- 45,000 humans die of starvation
And that’s just the tip of the melting iceberg…

Climate change, of course, connects to many of the pressing green issues but our eco-system would be in peril even if the deniers are right. We’d still have 80 percent of the world’s forests gone. We’d still have 90 percent of the large fish in the ocean gone. In other words, we’d still have an urgent need to dismantle industrial civilization and work towards a greener future.
Definitely read the entire article but here’s a preview of the five things:
1. Nuclear Waste
2. Factory Farming
3. Deforestation
4. Overfishing
5. The Use of Pesticides
