Scientists’ Warning— Update It’s been a busy month for Scientists’ Warning. Stuart has started a series of videos about the coronavirus. Shani Cairns has put together an informative Wiki post called Coronavirus Pandemic. With large drops in the stock markets we are seeing an interesting article about investors reconsidering their holdings in fossil fuel and moving to more sustainable investments such as renewable energy. Another is about how the virus is causing carbon dioxide and air pollution to fall rapidly. Stuart said in one of his emails recently that “we all need to do everything we can at this propitious moment in time to be candles in the dark times ahead.” We need to be more focused on where we need to go — looking at solutions rather than getting too caught up in the doom and gloom of the current situation and economic paradigm, which has had many of its fragilities exposed due to the coronavirus. It is an opportunity for more people to wake up to the need for fundamental changes in areas such as energy, health care, and the social safety net. We have seen some inspiring content illustrating the Indomitable Human Spirit. We have been inspired by the 1972 song “There’s Got to be a Morning After.” With everything that we are producing and maintaining, the need for more hands on deck is plainly evident. If we’re going to expand our reach we need more people to help with things like English editing, Translations, Video Editing, and most importantly Social Media. We also aiming to send out newletters on a weekly rather than monthly basis. Note: Stuart is still looking for a Personal Assistant in Honolulu to help with various tasks.
