In order to heal this world we must heal ourselves. In order to heal ourselves we must heal the world. So let's say that climate change is really a natural occurrence and we can't do anything about it. Putting that aside, don't we still want to stop being wasteful and protect what we have? Don't we still want to end our dependence on the people that are trying to kill us, for our oil? Wouldn't we still want to have clean air and water? I realize that they believe that their god gave them all of this for their personal use, and the Apocalypse is coming soon anyway, but they are not arbiters of the world. We must stop these people from being considered legit by pointing out their ridiculousness.

Not in the slightest.They will not solve this. That is your delusion, that they could or should, or shouldn't . Jade, please let me clarify, IMHO, I was simply pointing out the irony of your statement/reply to my post. You appear to think that I only endorse money based solutions, when that is exactly what our rulers are proposing. I think that we should give our best and brightest some encouragement/incentive to work on a solution, in other words, reinforce positive production/behavior. And vote out the charlatans in power and put someone that has our best interest at heart. I agree that it all starts at home (healing ourselves first) but we have to speak up and get the word out as well. Regards A fixation 'against' empowers the opposition as surely as a vote 'for', as the person so fixated is ensnared in always denouncing and warning, while never embarking upon the actual journey of change. Ok, it is not so black and white as that, but the kernel is there. You seem to think that the monied-powers-that-be are the problem. They are a joke. Empower your own life and the lives of others around you with positive action and choices and the world beocmes a bit brighter. This is not to say to be a pollyanna and ignore the realities of the scum that co-opt the governmental systems and media and for their own purposes, but to be so damned fixated upon them is pointless. IMHO. You gotta do it they way you see it. Mutual regards.

In order to heal this world we must heal ourselves. In order to heal ourselves we must heal the world.
some people just don't see it that way, Jade and never will. I think our essential problem is that we have evolved technologically far faster than we have biologically or physchologically. So, as a species, we're out of step with what is healthy and valuable and many of us still believe that looking out for number 1 is the only way to fly. I don't let it depress me though. I do what I can in my little life and sphere. That's all anyone can really do.

Hottest January in UAH satellite record - Human-caused global warming easily overwhelms much-hyped "cold snap"
Indeed, the January “cold snap” not only didn’t prove the case for (nonexistent) global cooling — it turns out that January was uber-hot around the globe! As leading anti-science guy Roy Spencer posted Thursday (including the figure above): The global-average lower tropospheric temperature anomaly soared to +0.72 deg. C in January, 2010. This is the warmest January in the 32-year satellite-based data record….
Note the global-average warmth is approaching the warmth reached during the 1997-98 El Nino, which peaked in February of 1998. Of course, right now we’re only in a moderate El Nino. In 97-98, we had a monster El Nino. And Spencer doesn’t mention that this record is especially impressive because we’re at “the deepest solar minimum in nearly a century.”
