Over the last 150 years the Western model of life, fueling rapid growth and consumption has resulted in a gradual Global Climate change with potentially catastrophic consequences for all humanity. The problems are complex and cannot be resolved locally, they require cooperation on Global scale. What’s more striking is that they are deeply rooted in the capitalist economic model of the western lifestyle and compounded greatly by huge developing countries like India and China who have come to adopt that model as their own. There is a prevailing feeling here, that the lack of unity between the World’s largest economies, big energy corporations, and even between much smaller communities, dependent on employment by those corporations, is slowly pushing us toward permanent irreversible destruction of the global ecosystem. Basically what I’m saying is that as a resident of the planet Earth, lacking ability to move elsewhere, you my dear reader are very much involved whether you like it or not. I highly recommend that you watch this documentary in its entirety:

 PBS Frontline - on global warming: “HEAT” by Martin Smith

Feel free to comment on the documentary here on this blog. I had several points I wanted to stress but due to lack of time I am not able to expand on them at the present. I will however do so after I watch this report again.
