Us vs. them

[pampango]

1. "Even an idiot can realize this is not sustainable." So true. The same principle

applies to climate change.

With both that and the worsening social and economic inequality in the US, the current "top dogs" see trouble on the horizon. But they think there must be a few more years of profit and greed before the you-know-what hits the fan. They aspire to maximize short run profits and income and turn those into mansions, yachts and jets before "reality" strikes.

It is sad that a cataclysm (like in 1929) has to strike before "reality" is dealt with. Of course, no one knows what the swift but gradual cataclysm ("reality&quot resulting from climate change will eventually be.
