You know damn well what is going to start happening once multiple catastrophes start occuring in direct response to extreme weather, as well as to the indirect catastrophes that will occur because of the strain weather related incidents will have on all other aspects of political, and economic life (all those dangerous competitions that will eventually have nukes going off to add to the pollution). Big money will run for whatever cover it can, even as it continues to deny the truth of environmental science. And in the social turmoil that will result, government will be faced with an awful need to resort to draconian means to force compliance in getting people to try and address the destruction in any meaningful way; a need that will come into direct confrontation with the buildup of terrible passions, and rage, that we already see now with so many groups of working people; people who feel used, abused, and ignored, for far too long. It isn't going to be pretty at all. Not at all.

We could avoid this, though, if we chose to act now, when we still have at least some chance of trying to work with each other, in some, at least partially, accommodating way, so that we can all have most of what is important to a decent life; even despite the coming difficulty. We could do that because we chose to do it, and weren't forced into it by desperately crumbling circumstances; where panic, fear, and all of the other terrible emotions that are so hard for us to control, take over, and our ability to reason, and to care for each other, get blown away.

This is a real, coming threat. It is not an illusion. It is not some gimmick by an covetous interest group to just make more money, or more political power, and would be plainly seen as such if we could only, also realize, that not only is this mutated monster of an economy responsible for creating the environmental devastation, it is the most significant impediment to doing something about it in the first place. And that is why we must take on the added difficulty of replacing it, while we work to make our atmosphere able to radiate heat back into space as well as it used to be able to do; you know, before we started defecating where we live on an industrial scale; because some people just couldn't stand having a little less profit every year to prevent such stupidity.

So the question comes down to this simple truth: Will you choose to act while you still have the real possibility of choice, or will you just continue to sit on your ass and do the virtual nothing you've been doing as a part of your blind compliance to things as they are, and the cold comfort you have for even the marginal life you have now. The one with little meaning, real connection, or a real chance for you, as a person, to define your own sense of value, and not the one the mutated system would impose upon you.

Please I urge you. Think very carefully about this. Everything we have, or will ever be able to have, is riding on this decision. And it won't matter at all if you are a Right Wing person, or a Left Wing person, or just some other member of a significant belief system. You will be just as screwed as everybody else.

Isn't half a loaf, for each of us, occasionally, better than no loves for any of us, or anything else living, for that matter?
