Those who support business as usual, which is pushing us towards catastrophe on an unimaginable scale, are described in the media as "moderates".

Those who seek to defend life on Earth and human wellbeing are described as "extremists".
*They have got this the wrong way round.*
We need more "extremists".
Governments, corporations and businesses and all of us as individual members of our communities need to cease being "moderates" and step up, recognise that there is a real emergency and make the necessary radical changes to the way we inhabit our planet and consume its resources.
The climate emergency in one single stark image .... "fiddling while Rome burns" comes to mind.
