Apparently no fatalities on YYZ/Toronto crash landing. Whew.

One critically injured, a kid taken to pediatric hospital for observation, and seven minor-to-moderate injuries.

This could have been a catastrophic loss of lives.

When reading headlines like these:

"Earth close to ‘risk tipping points’ that will damage our ability to deal with climate crisis, warns UN

Analysis also warns of further tipping points on horizon such as drying up of groundwater vital for food supplies"

It is clear that a collapse is not just a '#doomer' scenario, but a real threat. #Acceptance of that fact is step 1 towards a sane way of dealing with the situation. The next step would be to adopt another mindset. A very profound #Mindshift is needed.

Why it is unlikely that we can avoid a collapse of both the ecological system and western civilisation is the main topic of my book, but in the last part of it I focus mostly on the things that we *can* do that will soften our #crashlanding.
