Mania on Show

Just read a good article from George Monbiot. Generally all his pieces are at least though provoking. However he is now jumping on board with nuclear power but then so are all who have a modicum of sanity yet still cling to civilization.

The article is important because it points out the mania spouted by all governments. We have to cut emissions one day! We have to grow the economy the next! Repeat.

Nova Scotia is terrible. Our dear leader traveled to Copenhagen, jumping on the bandwagon seemingly. He came back with a plan. Yet all the while he was encouraging oil and gas in Nova Scotia, and a little fracking for good measure. At least Harper doesn't pretend that he sees climate change as a socialist plot. But Dexter, Nova Scotia's answer to Barack Obama (only white and pudgy), is 'creating good jobs and growing the economy'. That's what all his signs say anyway. Would you take a job or a habitable planet? It's getting to that point.

This death economy really is a pain. You can't have your cake and eat it too. But maybe we just have to drop these governments and start again. Expect a long fight.
