Then the biosphere will return to its natural balance.

Although I think we (Green Prophet) usually try to look at the bright side of life and hate to beat our readers over the head with doom, occasionally I think it’s necessary for us to face the hard facts on everyone else’s behalf. It’s not easy. In fact, it can be downright scary. But the force of a thing is so much smaller once we face it head on.

Actually, the scary part is we are pushing for a new glut of hydrocarbons in the world. CEO of Exxon-Mobile aims to develop unconventional tar sands and other fossil fuels. The sad part is he admits burning these will have an impact on the climate and we need to “adapt” and take engineering solutions. In his talk he mentioned moving agriculture regions and rising sea levels. He does not accept the forescasts of climate scientists and called them not reliable.
So, that is the plan, unless there is a cost for carbon emissions the CO2 levels will continue to rise, even with our individual actions of cutting down.
Brace yourself it will get worse.

We need to change our marketing strategy: http://thewellnessbitch.com/2012/06/29/open-letter-to-green-activists/

No one but the most “awake” green enthusiasts are going to stop driving. Heck, let’s just try convincing them to move down to one car, or to consider buying a hybrid or electric?

We need new tactics.
