Despite being warned by scientists that a global pandemic would hit, we failed to heed those warnings. Eventually Covid19 will become a memory. The same could be said about the Climate Crisis, the only difference is we don’t have the promise of a vaccine to stop climate change in its tracks. If we fail to act globally, as a nation and locally, the health, environmental and economic consequences of climate change will be far greater than that of the Covid19 pandemic.
