If A Tree Falls

Is it possible it is going to all get together now making sense? The relentless sweltering summer heat, heavy on 60 % of the nation. The towns ravaged by monster tornadoes. The winters with extraordinary snow that becomes raging runoffs; the droughts and floods that affect our food production. Is there a one who can seriously deny global warming? Seriously, I want an email list. If so, I don't believe they paid attention during a vacation or possibly these are repressing their memories, which is certainly not the way in which I remember it.

If the science doesn't cause you to believe surely the chaos is convincing. And even if all you have time for is work and sleep, regarding the price of food, energy, insurance, increasing? That's a reality. The two inches in 30-minute rainstorms, which we've had locally, produce lightening and wind that burns down houses and takes down our most stately shade trees. Does it sound right when the tree arrives at the car or house, or should there be no longer shade to allow for the children to be the yard and in addition they receive third degree burns on the playground slide? I don't do not forget that. The insect infected, downed and logged trees no more absorb the carbon while they did, but they're just trees and you may crank up the oxygen conditioning and turn into inside. This is America why is this so? Your individual rights have been in the constitution through God that also includes comfort.

The shattering fact personally is that folks have no involvement in what makes sense and no involvement in the truth; or should I say so lots of people are so cock-sure they know reality. This is truth quite outside of education or investigation and they often wrapped up inside the 'money equals brains' mentality. This view was beautifully illustrated by one among my daughter's college friends in their summation of his side of the political discussion with'.'if you're so smart, why can't you be rich'?

There is a whole generation of entitled individuals, fattened on jobs that earned a ton of money despite no knowledge and little effort, besides socialibility and going to the right place in the right time, Despite producing nothing and consuming with abandon these people will not be contrite, they're bitter. They believe they've got a right for the continuation on this money, a to spend and employ resources and in addition they 'conger up' a political view that supports their to certainly easy money, no matter the snow globe economy fantasy that had been created for it that occur, and it doesn't matter what it means in the future. They believe the economy can and really should expand forever.

Cars tend to be important compared to the highways they drive on, and houses are definitely more important compared to neighborhoods they stand it. Taxes represent to people an effort to take 'hard' earned money, they being apparently uneducated to where roads and schools plus the virtual order of these civilization emanates from. Lack of taxes cracks the veneer of prosperity as visibly as rust and pot holes, and since invisibly as children who can't or won't read, or make arithmetic calculations not to mention know or vote their interests. It's a license. not an education should be a realtor or maybe a car salesman.

A selfish, individual over society, disguised as individual over government, attitude can make the world a challenging, polluted and unholy location to live.
And that's essentially where we're. Is it possible because of it to seem sensible?
The car- ahh- the automobile. The placed the poor can seem middle class as well as the middle class can be displayed wealthy. You can drive your financial statement across the street. The car will be the coarse, indelible meaning of status. Small cars are for first time immigrants or teenage drivers or socialists. Cars are deemed to want comfort at any cost. They must handle of the mountain passes and spare your children the embarrassment of aging. For these cars we have now the straight away to cheap gas. No one can make us leave our cars and walk.

Our public lands aren't practically experiencing untrammeled beauty and wildlife the lands also needs to be open to your internal combustion contrivance on the market. Owning and driving a vehicle, a snowmobile, a4- wheeler a jet ski, is within the bill of rights. Somewhere missing will be the bill of responsibilities. Also missing is an involvement in what is sensible, sustainable. I guess the question to your masters in the universe the 2% who may have corralled 60% of all the so-called money is. If you're so rich, why can't you be smart?

What is missing is a superb sports analogy to spell out the material inequity. It's similar to the middle of your football game, , they switched to hockey. Not only do you lack skates there's no room for you personally on the team. The game went from 11 to six players. Only the 6 players are financed with hockey rink and gear with the game And the sport is outside of town. You're odd man out.

But although the rich were smart enough to rig the experience to gain the treasure, they've fowled the nest on their own as well as us which is everyone's most immediate problem. You can't eat, drink or breath money. Some of that ozone that drifts around Pinedale Wyoming get more info might just make it to Dick Cheney's house in Jackson. The banker together with the home in La Jolla is bombarded with radiation from Fukishima and possesses bought a house which will be underwater, literally, in very few years. He can relocate to Florida but his seafood will likely be contaminated with oil and dispersants. It's too hot to become outside so from his air-conditioned living room area he can watch dead baby dolphins wash up for the beach. Oil and gas pipelines, scoured by river debris, break and ruin the fly fishing for your natural gas 'wild-catter' that fought every proposed climate, water and pipe line regulation, and flaunted the remaining, to produce his fortune.

It reminds me on the Ingmar Bergman film, 'The Seventh Seal', that can take place in Europe throughout the plague. In a shot to stay away from the Black Death the nobility of Europe retreat to barricade themselves into their castles. The rats and fleas were ready and anticipating them. Bergman's survivors were roaming gypsies that stay away from the plague when you're mobile and free'but needless to say, equally ignorant with the cause on the death since the nobles.

Ignorance, community . has it's bliss, gets one nowhere within our world. The meek may yet inherit our planet, but they also may not need to. The mainstream media, shows us people starving in Somalia, shows us the tornados, the oil spills, the floods, the nuclear power plant meltdowns, and not the people still in tents or trailers, not the lower shrimp catches it shows the catastrophe, although not the results. Sometimes the outcome are not even measured such as Fukishima. Have we heard about the radiation that drifted with all the jet stream straight towards the West coast after which on being caught by my very own west side from the Rockies; radiation that insinuates itself into every living thing. Sometimes the photo just fades from view like Joplin or Detroit or New Orleans or Minot. There are no patterns here it suggests; just an exotic streak of bad luck; without the need of effect, no cause; No climatic change, nor deficiency of that' anti-capitalist regulation'. No recognition of corporate power over environmental laws which could safe guard the resources we should live; no knowing that 'if you poison the planet earth planet earth will poison you'. Will a tree ought to drop on your own head correctly to 'hit home'?

All of us have to come to grips with the excessive, entitled consumption; The most complete blinders to this particular are around the Eastern seaboard, This area was fortunate to get its oil and gas main and coal extracted west with the Mississippi, for that most part, until the gas main discovery in a area supplying the waters to New York City. It may be exciting to view the extraction method know as fracking generate a blip within the environmental radar. Otherwise the catastrophes of flood, or drought or tornado or hurricane are away from sight and soon beyond mind until they're on your head. Hopefully the very fact of local aging nuclear power plants, with on-site waste storage, are pause for thought after Fukishima plus the floods in Missouri I'm sure the East Coast's time arrive as there are ultimately no winners in the global warming lottery.

I am particularly thinking about one fantasy that we have now been experiencing, and wishing wonderful our heart were true. Cheap clean energy. There isn't any such thing it doesn't matter how many ads you observe on TV. There is clean energy, but it's not cheap. Wind and solar require capital investment in advance. Our government accustomed to invest in this type of thing, and to being crippled by politics, we have been crippled by war debt and our stupid decision to bail out rich folks. There is affordable[ish] energy is cheap on the pump, in comparison for the rest of the entire world. This we now have subsidized through regulations, cheap leases, nonexistent environmental regulation; it's becoming costly due to its effect on coffee but, maddeningly, there's no mental connection about bat roosting 'externalized' costs we're also beginning to cash inability might cost us our very lives. The propane industry genuinely does offer a less carbon emitting fuel, but producers refuse to produce any efforts to lessen it's carbon footprint setting it up OUT from the ground. It flares and fracks any time they want, allowing methane and open pits of benzene and also other volatile organic compounds to off-gas into the environment. A drilling site is definitely an ugly, smelly dangerous place. They don't call employees rough necks for nothing. And remember that we will live to regret the countless gallons of water that may be rendered unusable by used in drilling. Don't expect anything sensible from your extraction industry, or politicians. I could continue on but why bother Get ready for more chaos.

When a tree falls inside forest and there is absolutely no one there to know it, does it come up with a sound?
When a tree falls on your own head, does anybody wonder why?
