UN expert attacks ā€˜exploitativeā€™ world economy in fight to save planet

Outgoing special rapporteur David Boyd says ā€˜thereā€™s something wrong with our brains that we canā€™t understand how grave this isā€™

The race to save the planet is being impeded by a global economy that is contingent on the exploitation of people and nature, according to the UNā€™s outgoing leading environment and human rights expert.

@NorthernInvader honestly itā€™s refreshing to see language like this describing it. instead of the fossil "emperor with no clothesā€ dynamic thatā€™s stopping our ability to mitigate this.

@NorthernInvader

Yeah, I've thought that we're likely past the point of no return for a while... and even if we're not, it will take radical and dramatic change to reverse course. I don't see that happening anywhere.

@tyghebright @NorthernInvader

It will keep getting worse if we donā€™t correct our course.

Even if we canā€™t reverse it, at least we can stop whatā€™s making it worse and worse and worse.

@peeppeepcircus @NorthernInvader

Yeah, we can slow it down. And we can look at ways to adapt, investing in technologies and social/political strategies to help people through the challenging decades to come.

@NorthernInvader I've been saying this for years now.

We're ALL guilty. Time for a new mindset.
