The unchanging climate of Copenhagen

Be concerned. Many of the worlds leaders are in Denmark and it is not for Carlsberg, Lego or danishes. Yes, apparently there is a common goal - to address the climate crisis. As a premise, it would be some kind of wonderful if leaders from these nations got together and decided that maybe this issue that every scientist who is not on a oil company payroll has decided is a very serious situation. Advisory alert - if you live near a cliff, river, ocean or lake, New Orleans, Richmond BC, Nederlands, etc. - time to start thinking about moving.

Copenhagen will prove nothing. As bleak as it is, there is no way that anything that is proposed will be followed. The real travesty is that we are in midst of a climate crisis and the last thing we need is more bureaucracy to be added to the situation. Until we get a "buy-in" from the oil/gas and all of those other polluting industries, the worlds leaders might better be shopping for blue cheese.

So what to do? Protest and boycotts? Perhaps. But, this is the question of our generation and perhaps of all time? Why are people so greedy?

For arguments sake, let's go with the "climategate" theory and the idea that human caused climate change is just a massive conspiracy held by 99.9% of climate scientists in the world. As a kid many of us were told, that anything is possible...

Ok. So let's say that its true. Does this mean that we should embrace greenhouse gases? Should we hope that in our communities that we can get more of these "harmless" gases, perhaps near schools if possible. Perhaps there are some island beaches that have tar and we can start some mini tar sands.
Wouldn't it be great?

The bottom line is, why on earth would anyone want to be involved with an industry that willingly pollutes, destroys the earth and jeopardizes the health of everything and everyone? Unfortunately, it comes down to that five letter word - Greed. You don't have to be Gandhi or the Buddha to see it, it is what it is all about. It is not the climate we need to change, it is us.
