Climate Change
Dear Mr Halligan
Whatever the reason maybe, your report on Sunday showed that we
are cutting
energy use, but by switching to coal to enable China to catch up,
climate
change may not benefit.
If I could help you to see that the actual cause of climate change
is
commercial warfare, you would agree that our best bet would be to
restore
fair trading, to replace commercial warfare.
This could be achieved by introducing ethics into economics. We
could
initiate this change by going back to an honest monetary system.
In the world today new money is created and issued as credit. Using
credit
as our means of exchange makes fair trading impossible.
Our first step in the right direction, will be to restore to Government
the
sole right to create and issue new money. No government has ever
known how
to do this correctly. Climate change could be the requisite wake
up call, to
force us to introduce for the very first time in our history, an
ethical and
financially viable Monetary System. This has never ever been possible,
because until recently, we have never had a scientifically accurate
definition of the word money.
By getting that definition into use and by getting economists to
recognise
its validity, we could if we chose to do so, transform the subject
of
economics and remove the threat of global-warming.
Human beings like to be right and find it hard to confront their
mistakes.
In order to get money right, we must face the fact that we have
always got
it wrong. We are not good at doing that sort of thing. Necessity
is the
mother of discovery and climate change might well be that necessity.
