Our past, our present, and whatever remains of our future, absolutely depend on what we do now.
Most of life on Earth has a deep past, much deeper than ours. And we have benefited from the distillation of all preceding history, call it evolutionary history if you will.
In the past few decades, Earth's natural systems have endured more pressure than in all preceding human history.
We want to believe that we can continue doing what we've done for the past thousand years and not worry about the consequences coming back to us.
Humans are the only creatures with the ability to dive deep in the sea, fly high in the sky, send instant messages around the globe, reflect on the past, assess the present and imagine the future.
