Before I get into this, I'm as guilty as anybody as far as waking up and understanding the human impact on the ecology. I share the blame in wasting natural resources and polluting the atmosphere. In a sense, it's too late now as far as how many people are going to be hurt economically. It will be everybody. Here's the short story: We attacked and raped this planet. To us, it was just a thing to be used. Not a living organism to which all life, our life, is connected. Now it's getting sick....real sick and as it's life fades, so does ours. We're in a fight for our lives, our children's lives and the lives of everybody on this planet. But... we are asleep at the wheel and we have to wake up real fast before we hit the wall at 65 mph. In WW2 Japan and the Nazi's couldn't get at mainland America. This will. We are going to experience real hard times....our children will. This is WW3. All is not lost if we move now. The US economy is good enough right now to invest in the solution, develop the technologies that can stem an almost unstoppable fate. These new technologies when shared with the world, can save our economy enough that we can still remain a relevant nation upon this earth. We can come out of this just as strong as we emerged from WW2. Or we can let somebody else develop the solutions and become a 3rd world country with a failed economy. If the technologically advanced nations get together and pool all their resources and solve this quickly, then it could be one great future ahead.
