not effective?

Wolverine seems to suggest that a lower population will solve the problem. It certainly will once the problem really kicks in and nature rebalances the picture by wiping a couple of billion human souls out.
Indonesia is not bragging when it says it can replant 79 million trees. Right now their population is about three times that figure. shouldn't be too hard to organise a national 'Plant One Tree Day'. Wouldn't be too hard anywhere for that matter or would wolverine rather walk about saying "do nothing and you'll all die sooner which is really great cause death to you all can't come fast enough". Don't get too impatient or you'll be walking around with a gun!On U.N. hails success of billion-tree planting program posted 1 year, 12 months ago 4 Responses

without climate, no economy

It staggers me that the task of convincing climate sceptics is still as hard as ever. With out an enviroment there is no economy, so what is the point of asking how much it will cost the economy to get it functioning on a green basis.
Do they really not understand that no economy without an enviroment is as fundamental as no drink without water and no breathe without air. Right now in many parts of Australia it is forbidden to use water for anything other than drinking and personal washing for the eighth year in a row and the rain out look ain't gettin better.

I am an older student studying house design because I want to try and make a differance in that area and I was recently confronted by the comment in referance to Schwartzies efforts to force green building codes in California. that "we can't afford to wait around for lefty tree huggers to come up with solutions to the crisis".

I mean where the f... do people like that get off. When will righty tree chippers get the point that has been made for a hundred and fifty years or more by 'lefty tree huggers' that if we keep down this path of rampant consumption and no accounting for pollution it will end in ruin. Native Americans said it and now 99% of bona fide scientist say it.

'Lefty tree huggers'(whatever that means) have to throw off the perjoratives and reclaim the moral AND economic high ground. Every day that the climate crisis draws nearer its penultimate conclusion for us, the moral and economic perogative draws closer together until finally it will be realised that it is one and the same thing and was all along since time immemorial.

For righty tree chippers I suspect it will be far to late and it'll be written on all thier epitaths "why didn't you warn us?". On the odd lefty tree huggers' will be written "we told you so" because most of them will have given up memorialising themselves.
Righties seem to think everyone is out to get them and the lefties seem to think that everyone knows they care about them.Oh the shame, the shame.

Communication gets me down.... by the way, it's niether an economic problem or a moral problem. it's a fundamental religious problem bound up in a ridiculous notion of personal salvation that excludes from ones consciousness, the obviously more and more real reality that we are all on this planet together and not one of us is going to slip out the back door quietly un-noticed while all our childrens children suffer the horrendous consequences of thier forebears blinkered and selfish stupidity.On Everything comes down to whether fighting climate change will hurt ordinary voters posted 2 years ago 12 Responses
