So then what, you suggest unless the governments change the people should do nothing at all and just do “business as usual”?! That’s bad. Then that’ll only make the governments more rooted — we’ve got people who don’t want to make changes themselves plus governments who don’t want to make changes and that equals, well, no changes. We should not wait until governmental leadership comes to make changes to ourselves especially considering it’s lack does not prevent us from being able to make such changes. Maybe the people cannot do ALL the work, but that’s irrelevant and you know it: they must do as much as possible. Eventually then as the “old dogs” who are _in_ the governments terms expire they will be replaced by new people who do things differently and, you guessed it, the government changes… One should not ever, ever find an excuse for “business as usual”… One may point the finger at the government but remember that you have 3 fingers pointing back at YOU, and that means YOU have got to change TOO, not use this as an excuse for business as usual.

We can all start to make a difference now. Turf off that computer monitor, use your car less, eat local food, don’t fly, turn down your heating and don’t use air conditioning and that would make a difference….

It has never been a technical problem — alternatives to dumping 9 billion tons annually of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere could always have been found. (Just wait until the permafrost thaws and the methane is cut loose.) It’s a matter of setting aside the political conflicts and doing what’s best for the planet. Just as the economy is a wholly-owned subsidiary of the environment, human discussion is becoming irrevelant to the progressive weakening of the planet’s health.

ACTION is required to prevent further Kiribatis.
