Our species sits at a crossroads in our social evolution that will either take us to the brink of annihilation, peering into the jaws of Hades with world-wide chaos so climactic that it will make an eternity of torture at the hands of Satan and all his little minions seem like a day at the seaside—or, if we can stop bickering and realize the oneness of the human race (i.e. get over our pettiness, bigotry and pathetic prejudices), create the elusive technologically driven utopia we were sold as kids.
Staring down the barrel of global warming, one has to ponder what the future holds. What are the implications for us thirty to forty years from now? How will that affect our kids, our livelihoods? While politicians argue over cutting spending vs. raising taxes to raise the debt ceiling, in the process extending the recession and playing financial Russian roulette with the global economy for political gain, the issue of global warming once again gets pushed to the back burner.
While the United States still ponders whether global warming is a reality (the only developed country in the world to do so [thanks in no small part to the misinformation of the Fox News propaganda machine]), other countries are either holding back for economic reasons or because they don’t want to be the first or only ones taking the leap of faith.
