Two items captured my eyes in today's international news:-
1. USA President Barack Obama says, in his State of the Union Address,
that the free market system is the cause of economis crises faced by
the USA.
And yet, on the problem that is the most serious facing humanity this
century, a problem which will unnecessarily kill 200 million or more
Africans (including a good many of Obama's Luo relatives in western
Kenya) and wipe out 90% of the continent's food production, a problem
which will stunt the youth of the world who must carry the burden for my
generation's excesses, here's what Obama said:
/"the 12 hottest years on record have all come in the last 15. Heat
waves, droughts, wildfires, and floods -- all are now more frequent and
intense. We can choose to believe that Superstorm Sandy, and the most
severe drought in decades, and the worst wildfires some states have ever
seen were all just a freak coincidence. Or we can choose to believe in
the overwhelming judgment of science -- and act before it's too late.
The good news is, we can make meaningful progress on this issue while
driving strong economic growth. I urge this Congress to pursue a
bipartisan, *market-based solution to climate change*, like the one John
McCain and Joe Lieberman worked on together a few years ago."
/If you want to know why it's not a good idea to hand over the climate
crisis to the banksters to solve, watch an 8-minute film I helped write
in 2009 just before the Copenhagen COP15 fiasco, which is just as
relevant today: http://www.storyofcapandtrade.org
