I wonder how many have read 'Silent Spring' by Rachel Carson? It was published in 1962 and did make a difference, albeit slowly.

It takes a while; but it is not in the human pschye to make rapid changes unless it increases "wealth", or "power" to their advantage. Nothing will really change until the "folly" coastal cities (Dubai, New York, London, Sidney, Mumbai etc) are submerged and the majority of our food growing land is below the waves. You can expect the "Big Cheeses" to still be fighting and scheming amongst themselves, like juvenille male chimpanzees!

Will the bonobo way of life outlast us all?

"Bonobos are peaceful, matriarchal great apes. Humans' closest living relative, Pan paniscus is the least known great ape. They use social-sexual contact to resolve conflict."

We didn't crack it in the '60's, maybe we will get a second chance as a species!
