And guess what … most of the people who ‘did what they could’ just kept driving their cars. ‘What choice did we have?’ None.

    "It seems that we live in a very dark time, and we do. The human race has been on a very destructive path for quite a while, and we have these hideous weapons and hideous powers that can turn that destructive path into true cataclysm.

    But at the same time, an awakening is occurring and that awakening is being leveraged through the internet. It’s a consciousness awakening all around the world. And it’s that awakening of consciousness that the best hope for the future of humanity lies. - Graham Hancock

      We can do what we can do to stop making it worse. Work togetther to change our habits. Do what we can to make do with less and feel good about it. “Every dollar is a vote”, definitely. Work with the people who know what’s in store for them, like farmers. Skip a trip now and then. Use mass transit more. Keep improving our home, if we have one, so it’s better-insulated. Use better options for heating (wear more clothes instead of burning more fuel) and cooling. Stop admiring consumption and buy lasting, healthier products. Walk away from wasteful consumption, the investors will turn elsewhere unless companies respond.

      We can keep in mind the world we’re making, and how we will best to live in it. And become living examples of alternatives that are inevitable.

    Sure we would also all be under water by 2005 or something.

    Look, I do believe there’s some damage to the environment made by human activity, however these guys lost all their credibility after all the shit that Al Gore said for years and years that fortunately never happened. Anyways, did you notice that the artic sea ice is peaking right now?..

      Did you notice that the currents in the southern oceans have reverse directions, bringing up more CO2 from the deep waters?
