Are you ready for the real discussions? Have you any idea what it will take to ensure survival into the next century? Below is the final paragraph from a Independent Newspaper report by Nigel Politt. Saving The Planet: Empty gestures "In the past, wars were won using the brutality of conscription. Cities were defended and populations fed through regulations and rationing. If human populations are to survive against a far bigger threat than Hitler or al-Qa'ida or avian flu, won't governments have to be brutal? Turn off the power, perhaps? It's been done before, so surely it's do-able. We won't fly for our holidays and we won't drink Evian and maybe we'll even enjoy the spirit of the carbon blitz. If we're lucky, the Gulf Stream won't turn off and we won't end up with the climate of Newfoundland. But according to Professor Pidgeon, we're just not going to change our behaviour enough voluntarily. "We could all end up with low-energy lightbulbs but still flying to the Alps for the weekend. Under those circumstances, a government is going to have to take some pretty tough action." We are challenged, morally, to change our behavior, as individuals, but the bigger challenge is for our leaders to come up with a proper coordinated survival plan. They'll need our backing. ~~~end~~~ Author/Source: Nigel Pollitt: http://news.independent.co.uk/environment/article2184477.ece ~~~~~~ Its time to start waking up.
