The New Mass Extinction: There’s A Pipeline Ready To Burst Under The Great Lakes

71. I don't mean to write us off, but we had all that and threw it away to satisfy our greed.

Now we are doing a little, but it's like pouring water on a bale of hay while the barn is burning down.

The boomers have the experience, but many simply aren't up to the physical struggle it will take - and I really do think it will result in pitched battles between armed camps. If we don't stop the burning we are all going to die a miserable death. (China puts in a new coal plant every 10 days or so to burn all the coal we are selling them - and the TPP will make that much worse in other countries). If we stop burning, it would be a struggle to eat, to heat our homes, but at least we would have a chance.

The younger ones don't know what living in an economy where people are mostly productive is like, and could use the experience of the others. What they have would be the strength of the youth to confront everyone and start the fight.

I don't see enough people working together to do anything but the same old stuff, which may not last another hundred years.

We can die trying to free ourselves, or lay here and let it roll over us. I don't mean to tell people what to do, but it seems awfully clear that someone is going to have to start some serious disruption or we are all gonna fry.

Given what I see people willing to do, I think I may take up the fiddle.
