Cribb article deserves a Walkley award
I have long admired Julian Cribb’s writing but this article deserves an award – a Walkley award no less.
He conveys the urgency of the planetary crisis in a way that goes beyond merely stating the facts. We need such a wake-up call what with more and more climate change-charged extreme weather events and loss of habitat causing biodiversity to decline.
The 1972 book Limits to Growth warned that civilisation would crash by the 2040s should we continue on the current path and we are certainly seeing the beginnings of such a collapse even now.
