Sadly America is held tightly by corporate interests to pursuing the current “Status Quo” to the bitter end, much as the U.S.S.R. was by its bureaucracy, and did so! The very inertia of the last 200 years of propagandized and even real success will keep America rolling in the same direction long enough for all to vault the edge of the abyss, and Corvettes and Cadillac commercials, and other mantra of Capitalism, will be heard ringing off the walls of Hell as the great chasm closes over their heads – Much as did the Hymns of the great Army Choirs of U.S.S.R., extolling their own virtues as the very gates of Hell clanged shut on their Empire! The American dollar, harbinger of the fate of the whole nation, breaks through the barriers of Hell in its decent in value and approaches crash velocities as we speak, and even with highest unemployment/unemployability ever, does not cease, and we are in a downward spiral to our destruction and the greatest depression Capitalism has ever caused is about to crash down on our heads! America is losing to Asians on world markets every day, and even as we speak, China has acquired Iran’s South Azadegan Oil Fields – Greatest oil discovery in the Middle East in Thirty years – without firing a shot, or losing even one Chinaman in the process! Not like out Iraq mission at all! China has placed “Secret” nukes there to protect their newly acquired oil resource, restoring “Mutual Destruction” balance to the Middle East and counterbalancing America’s “Secret” nukes in Israel! Now the plains of Armageddon hold two “Secrets” both nuclear and in balance at last! Iran will soon build up Nuclear power in the face of a protesting, but wiser, America and the Ayatollahs will dominate the region and even set world oil prices, and in Yuan if they so wish – America weakened world-wide to a cranky complaining teen-aged spoiled bitch whore without power to make changes anywhere anymore, burdened with a worthless dollar, slothful “entitled” over-weight, over pampered people not willing to face conscription and change in their gluttonous, greedy ways long enough to make any difference, and the world afloat in nukes and no longer beholden to the proud, lustful, boisterous American anymore! Nuclear proliferation has happened! Get used to it Yankee Doodle, and stop the blustering superiority act too! We the world, are on to you, naughty little tramp! You no longer hold anyone over the barrel little pig!

Tony,

The thing about climate change (and most things in life) is that any anything that we can do, we can un-do. Although with Climate change, there are some “tipping points. Points that can never be fixed, and we have passed some of those points.

Look at climate change as ifitwere any other huge problem. (just for comparison, let’s look at an unjust war) On an individual basis, there is no way that we that we can stop it. We cant wake up one day and as an individual, bring a stop to it. But we can make a small, tiny impact. With the help of our friends, neighbors, families and society, we can actually stop it from continuing.

The problem is that we are “fixers.” If we cant fix it, we give up or pretend it doesnt exist.

For every hamburger you dont eat, you save 2,500 gallons of water. For every bottle of water you don’t by, you save 6 bottles of water. For every light you dont turn on, you save the coal used to make it light up from having to be stripped out of a mountain. For every vegetable you buy at the farmers market, you save the gas used to truck it in from Latin America. The list goes on and on and on.

Can we do anything to reduce dramatic climate change? We believe that yes. You can.

Thanks for your comment

That is at least some good news. Is it still too little too late, and can we even do anything to reduce dramatic climate change?

Well written. Keep it around it may become non-fiction in the near future.
