Climate Change Deniers Are Ignoring the Facts and Doubling Down on Their Extreme BeliefsPosted: 05/23/2014 1:14 pm EDT Updated: 05/23/2014 1:59 pm EDT
"We are seeing the conversation on climate change shift, as the media has started asking candidates where they stand on this critical issue.
The politicians who continue to ignore basic science and deny that climate change is occurring and human activity is a driving force behind it, are beginning to pay a political price. Instead of holding these extreme anti-science positions,
it's time for our nation's leaders to wake-up and tackle the challenge of our generation -- the climate crisis."

We need to connect the dots to realize that climate change is a phenomenon that challenges us to overcome short-term visions and the empty rhetoric of “Mother Earth,” devoid of concrete actions. Climate change is a consequence of the violent exploitation of nature, of endless economic growth systems based on fossil fuel consumption, understood as an irreplaceable condition for human “welfare.” This obsolete idea has been inculcated into our lives on a social, a psychological and on a cultural level.
What can we do to finally get on board that the emissions from burning fossil fuels, of large scale cattle exploitation and of deforestation emissions—both in the North and in the South—are destroying our atmosphere? Where are the effective means of caring for the common goods kidnapped by corporations and the global addiction to unlimited growth? How long do we have to wait till the polluters begin to stop poisoning us and prevent worse consequences? When and how will there be compensation for the damage? (almost 71.5 percent of global emissions are from developed countries where only 17.3 percent of the world population reside). What can we do to avoid the likelihood that the so-called “development” of the global South will repeat that same destructive patterns (disguised by the promises of progress and of happiness)?"

You are crazy, or undereducated, oblivious, and just in the way of others doing something about the problem by reducing their eco-footprints to 1/20th, living well, sacrificing some, like we did through far sightedness and hard work with caring about future kids.The old Cousteau words were true. Now it is 362 Million must die per year to prevent 400 million dying per year during the 2048 crash. A crash now is most desirable, with a bottleneck and recovery. After a few more years it won't matter whether humans are here or not because the thermageddon mass extinction is ahead probably sooner than we think, but after the human population crash.
So here's hoping Cascadia or La Palma hit and collapse the world economy, or Katla does the same thing with a volcanic winter, and crashes the population to very little emissions within 9 years. Or we can set off Yellowstone and save the future of the biosphere but go through a Toba type population bottleneck. Too bad we can't mimic nature with selection where only the ones who can live sustainably, get to live.
Business as usual will lead to a Permian type extinction or worse, a Venus Effect. Humans and their progeny will cease to live on this planet forever, along with 10 million other species we take down with us.You, 'milt banana'
, and others are trying for that very outcome by your actions, so are
hell bound evil troll. I notice you only really saw the last four words. Yes, you milt are bound for a place other than Heaven. Of course, even snowy got education, so people can change.
