I’ve been thinking a lot about the next looming crisis: Climate Change. On Bloomberg radio a few weeks ago, an analyst / money manager was talking about how his firm was looking at satellite imagery of pollution in China to measure their economic recovery. More pollution == “better”. Something is clearly unsustainable with that formula.

Like the virus, the longer we wait to take action, the more expensive it is and the narrower our options become. It seems more and more that there’s an illusion of public debate, while behind the scenes a decision has been made in favor of [adaptation]. I find that deeply sad.

The world has pressed the pause button for a moment. What it looks like on the other side of this crisis is in question. My (fools?) hope is that it makes us reflect on the fragility of the system we’ve created, the importance of global cooperation, democratic values, and what kind of future we want for ourselves and our kids.
