Drowning in Sewage and Dumping Money into a Climate Rathole

We humans dream of colonizing Mars, building flying cars, and achieving immortality. Yet, amidst this fervent pursuit of futures that sometimes drift into fantasy, we’re neglecting critical problems of the present.

An example is rampant pollution of our waters. This neglect exists even in advanced societies such as the United Kingdom, where untreated sewage spills into the Thames and other rivers, turning them into fetid cesspools.

This isn’t some dystopian vision of the future. It’s happening right now, under the noses of complacent governments and a distracted public. While headlines scream about a fabricated climate emergency decades away, actual environmental crises fester — not to mention potholed streets and collapsing bridges.

That’s because the so called “climate crisis” is an issue that government can keep going to justify expanding its power. There are no concrete  signs that anything the government is doing that’s geared towards climate change is fixing the issue

If government fixes the sewage problem, then  the problem is over and done and  there’s no crisis anymore.

No matter what the government does with climate, and no matter the results, climate wise (just imagine how much worse it would have been if we hadn't left all those people to freeze to death in the winter!) the 'results' can be twisted to justify what was done.

If the sewage problem is fixed, the Thames won't stink of shit.
If the results of the 'fix' fall short of that mark, it is a 'failure'.
In politics, the image of failure is to be avoided at all costs, even to the point of ignoring the problem.

Global Climate Change is a crisis without end because climate never stops changing.

On the bright side, Boston will be getting more frivolous bike lanes to combat Global Climate Change ... as the subway continues to lose power, derail, and catch fire.
