<![CDATA[Grist - Comment Feed for Is the financial crisis more dire than the climate crisis?]]> Grist Comment Feed en Comment #1 by Pangolin http://www.grist.org/article/crises/ Mon, 22 Sep 2008 10:52:52 -0700 http://www.grist.org/article/crises/1 Who says they're separate? Not me.

Not Jim Kunstler or Matt Savinar or the crowed over at The Oil Drum. Ok so that's doomer broadway, first avenue and main street but just a wee bit ago they were mocking them for being doomers at all.

The funds extracted from regular commerce by high energy prices and insurance payouts for hurricane damage slash deeply into our ability to mobilize against climate change.

The bailout isn't going to be made with oil, coal or natural gas but with digital dollars that exist only in the virtual world. The only true source of exchange is energy, resources and knowledge.

When the people who collect this 700 billion demand energy, resources and knowledge from the US it could be that we will be occupied elsewhere. Like cleaning up after a hurricane for example.

Then our plastic widgit suppliers get annoyed and the whole commerce system grinds to a halt. Which is what the doomers think is happening anyway.

Put the Carbon Back

I'm feeling generous today.  I volunteer my Social Security account to bail out the wealthy money-worshippers who stand to lose some of their money.

The financial one is real and has been caused mostly by Democrat policies. The "climate crisis" is a big hoax.

Both problems are real and both were sent to us by God because of homosexuals.  Get your party line right!
