The world's ecosystems are in a state
of terminal decline. We need leaders who will tell it like it is and
urge people to Reduce, Re-use & Recycle.Humankind's survival is at question here. Should near term growth be damned ? The choices are all unpalatable. A-Continue the US model to push consumption and growth using conventional energy and chemical technology and we destroy the planet by CO2 warming and toxic rivers and oceans. OR B-Rapidly attack the source of climate change-CO2 emissions using all possible resources, simultaneously reduce the damage to the world's ecosystems by eliminating polluting industry, while all the time ensuring that the basic necessity FOOD is evenly distributed to prevent rioting and the collapse of civil society. Re-organising global industry and commerce with near term job loss and re-training is inevitable. The old order must change and yield place to the new. Maybe we can go down path B if all the best minds from MIT quit the banking system which they ruined by financial engineering and focus their high IQ on re-engineering human society ?
