The plot to destroy America 3

children.jpgSuppose you knew about a plot whose inevitable outcome would be to undermine the health and well-being of your children, their children, and the next 50 generations. Yes, hundreds of educated people -- mostly Americans -- are assembling in New York right now for just two purposes:

  1. Sharing the techniques needed to block vital action that could save billions of people from suffering and misery.
  2. Spreading long-debunked disinformation while masquerading as experts who believe in the scientific method.

Well, of course, if you were Fox News, you'd be celebrating the event.

What can the rest of us do about this dangerous plot? Three things:

  1. Get the facts from real climate scientists at RealClimate.
  2. Keep a watchful eye on the conspirators with the help of DeSmogBlog.
  3. Give your children an extra hug tonight.

Remember, it's all about the children! If you don't stand up for them, who will?

    And the children of Africa suffersIt's not just America that is in danger. Africa might suffer more from the changing climate than any other continent. Especially because of the lack of social safety nets provided by governments. Is there a solution for Africa when they have so much else to focus on - health, poverty, war and hunger? Or are we caught in a Catch 22 with no sustainable solutions? More on this in my blog at http://angryafrican.wordpress.com/2008/03/02/solving-the- ...

    How to destroy a great country...............and a most remarkable civilization by reflexively "staying the course" of evermore expansion of "big business as usual" until unbridled human over-consumption, overproduction and overpopulation activities become patently unsustainable in the bounded world we inhabit.
    Too many leaders of the family of humanity in our time evidently intend to keep on living without having to accept limits to the growth of the global human economy, per-capita consumption and human population numbers worldwide; their wishes and desires to consume appear to be insatiable; they have chosen to believe (and widely share as if true) any ideological factoid that is politically convenient, economically expedient, socially agreeable and self-serving.
    Even so, well-established scientific knowledge makes clear that Earth exists in space-time, is finite and has limited resources and frangible ecosystem services upon which humanity and life as we know it utterly depends for existence.
    Whatsoever is is, is it not?
