Her new book, This Changes Everything: Capitalism vs. The Climate, argues that only dramatic policy shifts can avert climate catastrophe, and that ordinary people need to speak up and demand emissions caps, public transportation, and a transition to renewable energy. That’s a hard sell politically, which is why dubious measures like geoengineering and cap-and-trade have been proposed instead. *excerpt from:so, bein' the ferret dat i am, i will translate the definitions of these terms out of the context of code speak, and into the realm of reality away from the crafted narrative.....
Dystopian Fiction’s Popularity Is a Warning Sign for the Future
emissions caps: leave the U.S. in the vulnerable position of a service sector society that doesn't "make anything"
public transportation: spend hundreds of millions of dollars per mile so rich white people are guaranteed their maids can come clean their houses on time
renewable energy: any company that Al Gore owns stock in; after all, he did win the Nobel Prize for putting together a powerpoint presentation

capitalism is here to stay... without it we'd all be riding donkeys down to the open air meat market, swatting flies and maggots off the goat meat folks...
i am not going to waste my life making myself miserable and ranting about the environment ~ you are welcome to take the adult approach here, and block me, and call me names...
Merry Christmas!!
