I am dismayed at the lack of progress at the Copenhagen climate change summit and at the chaotic demonstrations as well as the actions of the police in crowd control. (more on policing in the 21st century in a later blog).
It is showing up all that is bad about our understanding of the climate change threat and how much the world is divided.
Unless we can all (and I mean the whole 7 billion of us) come to a common understanding on climate change and agreement on mutual support, there is little hope that all but a handful of us humans, plants and animals will survive into the next century.
It astounds me how much drivel is written on www.sky.com/news and www.newscientist.com in the news article comments by climate change refuseniks. They were asleep in their school science classes and suffer from delusional paranoia. The Science is basic and easy.
Scientists around the world are shaking their heads in disbelief at the shear stupidity of 50% of the population who don’t get it and don’t understand that 7 billion humans are effecting the climate and their activity threatens survival of the whole human race and countless plants and animals.
This is a potential mass extinction event. Unless we can convince the 50% of their stupidity (but they are too stupid to know they are stupid) we are consigning future generations to intolerable hardship.
The current generation of kids and future grandchildren will not forgive them and will refer to them as Granny and Granddad Moron.
One solution I have come up with to avert severe climate change (why hasn’t anyone else thought of this?) was to coral the 50% of people who don’t get it and drown them. Sorted !
