“Organized human society may not survive a couple of generations.”
The Warning
Renowned thinker Noam Chomsky warns that climate change could threaten organized human society within a few generations. The choices we make today will shape the future.
The Role of Media
Chomsky criticizes corporate media for:
-
Ignoring connections between fossil fuel promotion and global warming.
-
Celebrating fossil fuel production under the guise of “energy independence.”
This lack of accountability obscures the climate crisis.
A Societal Schizophrenia
Chomsky points out a troubling paradox: institutions recognize climate threats but continue harmful practices. Banks and corporations invest heavily in fossil fuels, prioritizing short-term profits over long-term survival, despite knowing the consequences.
The Urgency
The urgency is clear: the choices made today will determine if human society can sustain itself for future generations. Time is running out, and the stakes have never been higher.
Call for Ethical Journalism
Chomsky calls for media that urgently reports climate threats and accurately discusses actionable solutions to empower the public. Journalism has the power to inspire collective action and drive meaningful change.
Key Takeaway
This is more than a climate issue—it’s a matter of human survival. Ethical leadership, responsible media, and urgent action are essential for addressing it.
