It's Code Green, America

When the International Energy Agency, a conservative climate research group says we only have five years left to pull ourselves back from the brink of irreversible climate change it means one thing, Time's Up.

Yet most of us are still planning on a future that won't exist if we don't resist like our lives depend on it. This is all-out war, with every living being on the planet in the balance. Can we face this?

To face it would require that our actions match the reality of the problem. If we reflect on all the actions happening now to reduce global warming, they do not match the reality of the problem.

All industrial activity must be drastically reduced immediately. That won't happen if our only strategy is aboveground work. As much as we wish it were so, it just won't. Being effective in the timeframe we have is all that matters now.

And the timeframe is 5 years.

That's why we advocate the strategy of Decisive Ecological Warfare.
