To hear the global warming experts tell it; We're going to COOK man!
We're going to FRY! Methane is rising up from the bottom of the Arctic
Ocean. The permafrost will melt and more methane will explode out of the
earth. Shrinking polar ice will mean less white reflecting the Sun's
rays back into space and more dark ocean water absorbing heat. The
eco-systems of the oceans will be devastated and so too those of the
land.
Coastal areas will disappear, creating millions of refugees. Wind patterns will shift, meaning a much colder Europe. A much dryer India.
Calamity.
So far, all the activism of respectable folks has compelled our political and business leaders to engage in empty lip-service (while doing nothing to even mitigate the crisis) while outlying voices like the oil industry and moronic psychopaths like Donald Trump and stephen harper fell confident enough to dismiss it all as a socialist plot.
If the doomsayers' predictions come true (and I believe they will), do you think it's possible that the folks who condemned the firebombing of an RBC branch in Ottawa in protest of their support for the Tar Sands abomination, might reconsider their stupid pearl-clutching and their inane generalities about "violence begetting violence"?
When the Apocalypse is upon is and this signifies the utter and complete failure of their "raising awareness peacefully" and their rallies and their petitions; that they might have second thoughts about having shrieked about this one attempt to cause genuine damage to the interests of the powerful who led us to the disaster?
Personally, I don't think so. I think people are too deluded and stubborn to acknowledge reality.
