Slide from a presentation:
I used to think the top environmental problems were biodiversity loss, ecosystem collapse and climate change.
I thought that with 30 years of good science we could address those problems.
But I was wrong.
The top environmental problems are selfishness, greed and apathy...
...and to deal with these we need a spiritual and cultural transformation
- and we scientists don't know how to do that.
