CRITICALLY THINKING COPENHAGEN

........First of all, I have absolutely no doubt that climate change is real AND is unequivocally caused by humans. Along with myriad other topics, I've been researching this one for years, and as some of you know who've attempted, I refuse to debate my position for a host of reasons which I am also unwilling to discuss. Furthermore, why would one debate phenomena that are already happening. Isn't that a lot like debating whether the sun will rise in the east tomorrow morning?

The incoherent assumption made by climate change deniers when encountering the argument that climate change is both real and human-caused is that if one subscribes to these two positions, one is invariably opening oneself to legislation by a world government or New World Order. It is assumed that anyone arguing these two realities is begging for domination by a fascist international dictatorship.

Similar incoherent assumptions are shared by climate change proponents and Copenhagen enthusiasts. The assumption, which in my opinion could not be more naive, is that climate change is controllable, that it can be stopped or reversed, and that the governments of industrial nations will do anything beyond giving lip service to even attempting to eradicate it.

What both proponents and deniers do not get is that, as with nearly all of the challenges our species currently faces, we are dealing not with a problem that can be solved, but with a predicament that is unsolvable and can only be responded to. I refer you again to an article sent out in todays Daily News Digest, ”Climate Change Is Inevitable: It’s Time To Adapt.” I would also reiterate the articles recently written by Adam Sacks, particularly “The Fallacy of Climate Activism.”

The crux of these pieces is the reality that climate change cannot be stopped and must be adapted to. To this I would add: adapted to on the local level. Those who accuse me of being putty in the hands of the New World Order because years ago I made up my mind (long before ”The Inconvenient Truth”) about the reality of climate change and its human origins and am no longer willing to debate the topic—those folks have not yet grasped the impossibility of addressing the majority of the converging crises bearing down on the planet on anything but the local level.

Not the least of these crises is the tyranny of global government.

But I ask those who lie awake nights worrying about it: What is it you plan to do to stop it? What makes you think its stoppable in the first place?

Were all familiar with the slogan, “think globally and act locally,” but I challenge anyone concerned with these issues to start thinking and acting locally. This is not to imply that one should ignore what ones national government is doing or disregard the machinations of the international ruling elite. However, what those frantic about what the NWO is up to usually disregard (and often deny as well), is the reality of Peak Oil, Peak Water, Peak Money, and as goes the title of Richard Heinbergs book, Peak Everything. To assume that the NWO is going to have the resources necessary to converge on every hamlet and village on earth and obliterate innocent citizens attempting to survive and thrive, is a credulous supposition that does not take other daunting realities into account.

As the collapse of industrial civilization intensifies, exacerbated by climate chaos and natural disasters, I believe that it will become painfully obvious that truly discerning individuals must organize with others in their neighborhoods and communities with resilience and discernment to adapt to climate events, energy depletion, and the end of money as we know it. Focusing predominantly on the NWO and minimizing local mobilization in response to all of the life-threatening challenges faced by every species on earth is a tragic waste of energy which will manifest horrific consequences in the coming years.........
