N. Nemeth wrote about how the entire history of mankind is an endless sequence of crises. Since the Industrial Revolution, a new persistent crisis is evolving with global dimensions and an increasing threat of destroying the ecosphere if it is not resolved. It worsens with population growth and unrestricted demands for resources and return of wastes to the environment. The situation may be close to irreversibility or, as some believe, it has already gone beyond it. There are abundant warnings diagnosing the threat, pointing to the dangers of inaction, and advising of missed opportunity. However, warnings can be, and often are, ignored. More immediate problems are used for excuses. An analysis of the way we signal the danger, issue the warning, may help us to make it more effective to fit into our everyday reality.
