A thoughtful article and I remember seeing that picture for the first time as a 7 year old and thinking. That’s where I live but also how small we were as if in a lifeboat. I remember being in the SF MOMA and there was an exhibition called Made in California and there was a copy of the WEC as well as a Mac. If there is a hope it comes from Burke’s small battalions working sometimes in isolation but working to a common aim rather than some of the large NGO behemoths we see. Perhaps there needs to be more B Corps developed in capitalism Large in vision but small in size but also ones that can encourage people to implement their ideas. COP has been a disappointment but it was always going to be the case to get agreement with so many countries and agendas as you highlight. Perhaps it is only at the precipice that man can see and agree the disaster awaiting us. It’s either that or we need a Klaatu together with a Gort to appear as a deus ex machina to shake us out of our slumbers. That picture reminds us of how fragile we are but also how through the serendipity of a few atoms and chemicals coming together we are even here in the first place.

Hello Andrew. I agree whole heartedly with this "Perhaps there needs to be more B Corps developed in capitalism Large in vision but small in size".
