To actually make a difference, we'd all need to accept real sacrifice in our lives and only a tiny proportion of humanity would vote for the kind of 'Green Stalin' we'd need to steer us through this. There's absolutely zero chance that the majority could ever be persuaded to think beyond cheap food, fuel, foreign holidays and maybe the occasional minimal, feel-good 'green' gesture, like buying an organic carrot.
I know this is a bleak, defeatist outlook, but it doesn't stop me from behaving and voting as though there were still a chance.
Perhaps if more attention had been paid to the green loons (moderator note: refers to removed post) a decade ago, and less to climate change deniers and the propaganda of big oil, we might be in a better position today.
I first visited the loonies at Machynlleth Centre for Alternative Technology when it was new.
Their wind turbines etc. were obviously ridiculous to the hard headed realists.
And the greens are keeping quiet about the lack of wind and sunshine. My supplier has gone bust, not the first time its happened to me so I won't be too concerned. Now weres my fork handles.
