Its just a reflection of the arrogance of the man in the White House and
how he has pissed off world opinion.
The ecosystem has no respect for economics. What is dooming humanity is
that classical economics developed before anyone knew anything about the
bioshphere or ecology. Economics is now a millstone around the neck of
humanity and may destroy us. UNLESS someone SERIOUSLY spreads a new kind
of meme consciousness that ecology should be included in economics (Kinda
like the radical proposals in KSR's Mars Trilogy.)
Yes, stopping global warming and reversing the trends threatening us today
WILL Do economic damage!!!! so no one can accept them . Huaman nature
seems incapable of the hard choices and sacrifices that will be necessary
to save future generations. Therefore we are doomed.
