[QUOTE="arktouros:1019521"]Worrying isn't doing anything. Corporations, IMF, NWO, all that will be meaningless in the next ice age. As globalization happens the division between first and third world countries will be reduced. The population will plateau, maybe resource wars will be fought, no matter what happens today. Then there will be a huge decrease in all life on Earth. There will be an opportunity for humans to evolve slightly. Carbon tax is succeeding in lowering dependence on combustible energy in EU countries. Do carbon emissions cause climate change? It's a miniscule part of a bigger picture of the Earth's climate cycle. That along with deforestation and agriculture are the extent of our effect on the climate. How much is that effect? No idea. Energy monopolies are a reason why the world hasn't fully embraced wind, hydroelectric, nuclear, and solar energy. I don't oppose a carbon tax IF we're given the option to plug into a 'green grid' but we don't have that option, we buy our energy from huge corporate monopolies. Energy corporations would pass on this carbon tax to the consumer. All you can really do about it right now is live off the grid. I don't seen anybody doing that. What else can you do about it? Write a letter? Shoot someone? Why worry about it? It's a recipe for depression, a trapping of our sentience. Live sensibly. Maybe you could get into politics, and realize how impossible it is to get anything done no matter what your intentions are. Or, be a scientist or someone else in the position to make an impact on the long-term survival of our species, no matter how small that impact is. But we are so weak. We're built to live on a tropical earth. We like sex, drugs, music and art. We live 80 years and are useful for much less of that. If we can't grab planetary physics and space travel by the balls soon while we have the opportunity to do so, we're doomed. Communication and education are the key but greed will always exist. The next 1,000 years will determine whether we become extinct in 3,000 or indefinitely. Aril, would you rather nothing was done in Copenhagen? Funding for science and NASA of course must happen but ineffective when we must protect our information and resources with a perimeter defense complex. Even though that would be awesome. I don't know the details of the agreement yet.[/QUOTE]
