Professor J,
Just for fun lets imagine a world
where we wake up and the dissenters have been won over. Oil company
executives and share holders don't even care about profits anymore
because they've read your last post and come to their collective senses.
Good God, the conservatives are even on board.
So, the
first action or piece of legislation would be? I'm asking this question
because I'm not sure people understand what they can do.
I am not saying that it all seems so dire we shouldn't act. I am simply asking what actions should be taken and in what order.
For those of us who even care to collect
rain water, recycle, compost, keep bees, etc. it all seems like a drop
in the ocean. I do those things more out of a feeling of personal morality and responsibility than because I feel that they make a real difference.
What I really want to know
is--if you could wave your magic wand and have the entire country, no,
let's say the world, in full agreement and ready to move forward on real
solutions--what would that look like?
While you are at it please tell me of any other problems you think would be created or solved at the same time?
And at what point (perhaps scientists already have something
quantifiable in mind) would we know we'd turned the tide and averted
disaster?
Once again this is just me with more questions. :)
