Is anyone listening?

Okay, so the message is vague... not to mention almost a year old... but we'd be well served to take it to heart, I think. Call me crazy, but no matter who you may happen to call 'God', you have to be a little nervous when you consider what's happening globally. As the only species with serious brain convolutions, we're entrusted with stewardship of the planet, and we're failing miserably. No measure of sophistication, no amount of wealth, no carefully-considered scheme to fill the coffers can ever overcome one simple truth:

Everything is finite, including the unique combination of gases we call 'air'.

And, as it gradually disappears, all of it will become increasingly dear. Remember that the next time you pull a voting lever.

That's all... let the tomfoolery resume!

Now, if you can reach the rest of the world....

yeah...

*shuffles a bit*

Yeah.

I don't even *get* the basis for anti-environmental platforms. The argument that we can't a hundred percent prove that it is the millions of tons of waste we dump into the atmosphere everyday is meant to be justification not to change anything.

Um.

insert this bit, 'that is the millions of tons of wase we dump into the atmosphere each day -that is changing the global climate- is apparently meant to be justification not to change anything.


Oh well. Language butchery not withstanding, hopefully my idea comes across.
