What Do You Think Will Happen?
What do you think will happen as climate change gets worse? It is
perfectly obvious to me that no one is going to try & stabilise climate
change. There is too much money being
made by our government from the mining, drilling, fracking, selling &
burning of fossil fuels, so stopping the use of these fossil fuels is not going
to happen.
Climate change is accelerating much faster than previously predicted,
so planning on reducing the use of
fossil fuels within the next 20 years I think will be useless. In Siberia the
global warming temperature is already past the safe mark, permafrost is melting,
has melted! The ground has become unstable, carbon is being released into the
atmosphere, & there is a risk of long buried pathogens & viruses
emerging from the ground!
Here in Australia the temperatures are summer high in spring! The
trees in my forest are dying, we are low on water. There was no snow this past
winter, & very little rain. We are in drought conditions here & there
are bushfires all around us.
Australian farmers are already experiencing crop failures & stock
losses; this must inevitably lead to food shortages. If the heat of summer is
such that city people are going to be reliant on air conditioning, then what
are the chances of black outs? I could
be wrong, but I think we are running out of time. Time, what am I saying, no
matter how much time we had, the government is NOT going to replace coal powered
electricity with solar power, & they are not going to stop the clearing
& logging of native forests. Bushfires are destroying thousands of acres of
bush land every day.
What do you think is going to happen? Will a majority of people say “enough
is enough” in time & take control of this situation? Will the present
peaceful street protests turn violent through frustration & anger? If
climate change causes TEOTWAWKI, will the military be called in to take control
of the cities? Or will the government bailout & head for their doomsday
bunkers?
