Don't feel so helpless. First of all you have the satisfaction that you are doing the right thing. Most of these Bush-leagers know that they are doing the wrong thing and they will pay the price for it. Even though they try to deny it, it eats at their souls and will ultimately consume them.
Secondly, consider the notion of strategic investment. The Bushies don't value the environment much. They think they can live without one. Invest in the environment and environmentally sustainable practices, say solar power generation, wind power, renewable resources, hybird cars, water systems, genetic resources, etc. In time you will find that you own these mindless minions who didn't think these things were valuable. They will have tranferred their power to you as a result of their own stupidity and arrogance. Yes it will take time, evolutionary events alwasy take time, but you can rest assured that you will be in relatively good shape compared to the fate that awaits them.
If you are particularly generous, you can also pray for their souls as they will certainly be loosing theirs.
Man uses computer to model climate. His models tell him that global temperatures are in all probability likely to rise dramatically in coming years and that tremendous deleterious economic consequences (such as loss of drinking water for billions of people, more big hurricanes, etc.) are sure to occur. He presents his findings. Representatives of the oil and gas lobby find his science disturbing as it could if acted upon ultimately undermine profits. They insist that the administration do what it can to trash and impede the message the man is sending. The administration passes the word to the WH PR machine and mindless minions trash the man for speaking what he sees as the truth of his findings. Millions insist he shouldn't speak out lest the truth become known. The world heats up and we all burn.
The ultimate result hundreds of millions of Christians burn in hell for bearing "false witness", but no matter profits are preserved. Let us pray for ourselves and those in our country too blinded by political passions to see the fundamental truths implicit in Dr. Hansen's computations.
Man, you have got to love Rove's anonymous rovers. Varmus is a "liberal", therefore we can ignore everything the man says. Hanson is "mad", therefore his science is wrong. Lets trash these people so that we can continue on our merry way. There's a real scientific and reasoned approach. Ironically such anti-science actually flies in the face of one of the ten commandments, "Thou shall not bear false witness". Its sad to see how many God-fairing Christians so eagerly through away there eternal souls to support the party line.
Yes. Down here on the Mississippi Gulf Coast, this is a sore point. Climate models now suggest that big storms will be more frequent and sea levels are rising faster than previously predicted (turns out the those global-warming wackos have been underestimating the seriousness of the problem).
We were promised help from Katrina but the FEMA and Security bureaucracy eats the relief funds and only the well connected seem to be receiving the billions. I'm still waiting for a trailer to live in and the storm was over 4 months ago. My wife was called by a FEMA guy who told me to call him back because he might finally have us a trailer. When I called back, he told me they were "having contractor problems" and that I was "shit out of luck". This is truely the fecal matter I have come to expect from the Bush administration.
Another Bush lie? One can only wonder which will come first, another major storm or Bush living up to one of his promises? I'm seriously thinking about moving out of the country. I simply can't bear the pain of so closely watching it go down the toilet every time Bush and his freinds flush another one of their PR productions.
Those that need help here have mostly given up seeking it from the government. The only ones still playing this line are the security types posing as reporters and talk show participants. But then you the taxpayer are still paying for all those extra security contractors who are there to protect the workers from the "angry mobs" (we were actually only one of a few people in the entire FEMA emergency relief center staffed by more than 30 people, about half of whom were security personel. Does this make any sense? I guess it doesn't have to as you are there to pick up the tab. I guess it was only fitting that they set up the Gulfport center a Bingo Parlor. I'm still waiting for my number to come up. America really does thrive on the "sweepsteaks myth". If only I can get a... But from an efficiency perspective Fahta couldn't have delivered more inefficient services. Maybe Bush's fear of terrorists stems from the worry that a "Hamas-like" organization might some day arise here in an effort to sweep out the corruption that permeates this administration. No wonder they are spying on all Americans these days. Oh, now I get it. All this global democracy PR is designed to bring the politics of Middle Eastern efficiency to the US. I think I'm starting to see the logic of it all. Its the new security economy stupid! A sincere diplomatic initiative to not offend the Chinese and the Saudis who we need to keep buying our debt.
Instead of solving problems this administration seems more intent on creating them for their own political and financial gain. They're tried and true method is just change the PR volume and go on yet another PR offensive when people and the facts begin to turn against them. Take this new illegal initiative on the domestic spying as an example. They are now claiming that its essential to spy on all Americans to capture terrorists (and no doubt peddle inside information in the backroom. What do you really think Jack Abramoff was doing in the White House those 6 occasions one of which shows his picture with George's arm around him?). Hasn't anyone noticed that this only serves to emphasize their complete incompetence in finding this Osama Bin Luddite guy. Hell, I know bill collectors who can do better than this and they don't have Bush's resources. They should just call out that bounty hunter guy I've seen on TV. He has the same general personality, looks, and style as Bush, but at least seems to always get his man. This administration looks more and more like the gang that can't shoot straight. Boy they really "solved" the Israeli-Palistinian issue didn't they? They avoided the issue like the plague when they had a chance to deal with lesser "evils". Now they have managed to usher in the wrong crowd. Good for them at least that the new Palestinian government can all be labeled "democrats". My own se
These Bush types are the same people that expouse that torturing human beings is an OK policy. They are all going to burn in hell. From their perspective, what difference does it make if they start a little early and they take the rest of us with them?
