Wondering if this can be a children’s book? Seems adults have written children’s books about climate change science especially. However, books like this may not have been aimed at kids.
Children are going to inherit our problems. Of course, problems and some solutions are well documented but all too often those solutions are rooted in the present.
What if we, as adults, look though the eyes of future adults: the children and their children’s children. How will they be able to respond to problems of their own days upon this fragile planet?
It’s certainly good to be ‘solutions oriented’. For instance, so many luminaries are proposing many interlinked crises are already occurring.
They’re then deriving corresponding solutions for today but, realistically, if the status quo only changes at a snail’s pace (between generations) then what do today’s solutions look like all those years ahead when they finally stand a chance of being enacted?
It’s not futurology to propose a future context for future solutions to current problems. It’s simply being real. That perspective may sadly be lacking in our jostling and jousting to be The One with all the answers. Let’s, for once, think about the kids and if they really are alright.
