Even if more people start driving electric cars, those cars have to get the power to recharge their batteries from power plants that run on fossil fuel. Solar energy is not being developed fast enough; especially in the Middle East. where oil is still relatively plentiful.

Those polar vortex “surges” in places like New York and Chicago will occur again this coming winter; and they may be even worse. This also applies to the mud slides like the ones on Washington State and severe storms in many parts of the world. What will it take for people to finally wake up to what is happening? I fear it will only be when it will become intolerable for them to continue living where they are now.

By then, it may be too late to significantly reverse climate change. Al Gore was laughed at by many when he made his Inconvenient Truth film.

Are people still laughing now?

to save life on Earth
gently shrink our population,
safely recycle all our waste
and grow the wilderness
to create an evergreen
civilization.

Those of us who care have done everything we can do individually to live without wasting resources. We’ve sent messages via vote and funding to, hopefully, shake the foundation of the elite who built the world’s economy upon oil but refuse to give up their elite position in the world economy. Seemingly nothing has been accomplished in all this time to wake them from the dream of wealth and power. What do you suggest, Maurice?

I’m open to all suggestions as I’m sure anyone who has spent the long haul beating their head against this wall of shame.

Does this mean everyone is prepared to live with it?
