A new report from Oil Change International, provides new evidence that, if built, the Keystone XL pipeline will have a devastating impact on the global climate.(Note: The indirect link to the PDF document is faulty at the time of this posting on my website. Here is a correct link.)
If we depend upon the One Percent's government to curtail the use of carbon-emitting fossil fuels, we are essentially collaborating with the One Percent in their addiction. I think there is a name for this--codependency.
The only real solution presents us with an extremely daunting challenge--change the system that requires never-ending growth, and thereby remove this system from the tiny group of people, the One Percent, that are addicted to it and that provide them with the power to make all the decisions regarding climate stability and wars, and essentially everything else. There is no other or easy way out of our dilemma. The sooner we face this, the better our chances are of surviving the climate crisis, avoiding future wars, and other disasters.
