    GLOBAL WARMING and  CLIMATE CHANGE

    A newly emerging consensus is demanding action to halt the contribution made by the human race to a process of global warming. Unless we first come to understand the existence of commercial warfare, recognise the part it plays in the creation of global warming and then correctly analyse the source of commercial warfare, we shall not win this battle for our survival.

    Having first achieved that initial objective, we shall then find that to shoulder our responsibility, not only becomes far more possible, but also highly desirable and a pleasure to accomplish.

    Firstly, notice the resistance to tackling global climate change, which is exemplified by the many billions of pounds, currently spent on advertising, to encourage us all to go in the opposite direction; borrow more money, so as to buy more, to provide more work. We have been obliged to create more action to produce more of everything and to sell more than we could possibly need.  We are constantly urged to hot up the rat race and go ever deeper into debt and thus guarantee that we never escape from the commercial war, in which we fight for our lives and seek to survive at a higher standard of living.   

    The authorities who should be taking responsibility for working out an effective strategy, acceptable to the whole human race worldwide, restrict themselves to devising harsher penalties for doing what circumstances force us to do. They make us pay more to get to work, by raising taxes on fuel.  They make us work harder by robbing our pay packet with PAYE, so that we have to work more to make up the loss.  Giving us limitless quantities of cheap money, in the form of credit, the authorities entice us to out-bid each other, for somewhere to live and to drive ourselves ever deeper into debt slavery and the loss of our Freedom. We lose   the freedom to do as we desire and we are driven to work harder and ever harder to achieve less and less for ourselves. No wonder we cannot cope with global warming as we struggle to survive.
