Grrrrrr! Rant time approacheth once more...
It's dissappointing to discover that some people would rather wait for a perfect arrangement before lifting a finger or at least agreeing in principle with the idea that everything has to change. This is a selfish hoax which is rooted in complacency.
Even more frustrating is the illogical and frankly twisted notion that we have to disarm (god knows how) certain powers before lifting a finger to save the entire planet. One could just as easily argue that we should disarm America first since it's the only country who has been murderous enough to actually drop nukes on innocent civilians (Hiroshima & Nagasaki). Don't forget Hanover & Dresden too. Better get rid of Britain's weapons before it happens all over again eh? Hooray, war is over, oops, too late, the planets f**ked. Nuclear disarmament is a whole other issue.
America is the worst polluter, China's second, & it's pollution is increasing the fastest. Next comes the whole of Europe and then Japan. All guilty. In all cases, energy production is worst, then cars, then aviation. Rail produces negligible waste.
Renewable energy is a MUST eventually (nothing lasts forever), vehicular transport needs to be MUCH more efficient AND used a whole lot less (excess usage WILL have to be restricted unless we "cull" some people), and forget cheapo flights - whoops, the world got bigger again, get used to it. And let's leave some fossil fuel down there in case we need it later...
The truth is, you can't have it all, but people are greedy so they think of excuses and reasons why someone else should change before they do. Followers, not leaders. Greedy consumers, not responsible thinkers. Individual attitudes and actions are what matters MOST, politicians need PEOPLE to vote for them after all.
Bearing in mind the hypocrisy and ignorance of most, for the sake of all life as well as future generations, I would suggest that people will have to change almost everything about their daily lives or there will have to be a huge drop in the human population (large war, meteor strike etc.). We've already driven so many other spieces to extinction after all...

Hypocrisy...
Interesting point.
U.S. worst polluter...
BULLLLLLLSSHITTT!!!!
Says who?
We need to get green. Global Warming, Clean water, Clean Air. Something needs to be done....now. Obviously.
OK real quick on the political angle...US..China worst...LMAO!
They're the worst because someone told you they were the worst. Just like everything else you're told. You believe it.
Think land mass. If I live in Germany I don't want to claim my neighbor's pollution statistically that provide the services and goods that I need for my Western life style. Then I couldn't point fingers at China. Are you considering this or just reading it?
Globalization brough....
Think...
I am sitting in Glasgow. Where were the products in my studio manufactured? Scotland is greener than China but the people buying behringer live in Scotland. Plastic, Printer Cartridges, Computer Monitors.....YOU ARE JUST AS GUILTY! You just don't have manufacturing worth a squirt of piss so you rely on statistics from professors or goofy politicos to make yourself feel better.
Why is Belgium greener than America. If you go to that country you will see very nice cars rolling down the road. Tires are manufactured where? Electrical Power? Construction materials?
Can you explain where this logic is flawed or do you just want to keep the argument that America is evil and the lads in Scotland are as pure as the driven snow?
In the meantime we have people that are super fukked up. They want to build nuclear weapons and threaten Tokyo and Israel with total destruction. Not to mention they could miss and hit Greece (for you anti-semitic types).
As in World War Two, the Cold War and the Global War on Terror humanity and the environment must now wait while we idiots (us) that lack imagination and primitive evil assholes deal with each other's sicknesses.
It's not one or the other, but our advancement as one earth living in peace is directly connected to international trade, freedom and being green.
As long as you struggle against eve-ill you have to struggle on all fronts. Having a huge navy, economic superiority, rockets, bombs, lot's of audio gear etc....
Hopefully something will change on the order of the fall of the Berlin wall....until then here's hoping.
lemme nough
