Climate Change and
Why We Are
‘Procrastination Nation’
It’s a fact that we are psychologically hard-wired as
humans to see our future selves as
strangers. So when looking at
future climate change and
runaway global warming impact
events we do nothing. Why? We Are “Procrastination Nation.’’
I recently tweeted this and
I will tweet again for rest of my
life. “Why do we humans procrastinate?
It’s because we think, psychologically,
of our future selves as ‘’strangers’’.
So in taking steps to fight runaway #AGW, we therefore procrastinate because we don’t see the future
as *our* future. We are “Procrastination Nation.”
It’s true. We are never going to fix climate change
and we are never going to stop global warming,
and that’s because we are going to
procrastinate forever and ever until the cows
come home to roost. No, that’s not right:
until the chickens come home to roost.
Or is that the crows come home to roost?
Whatever:
By then it will be way too late.
