So far ... There's only one way out of this mess. So far I'm not seeing those who hold high places even begin to start. Lots of talk and hand shaking going on.<br /> Talk is cheap. Handshakes are for acquaintances and something else that starts with an A. Everyone's got one of the latter. Too bad so many seem to think they should act like one. As if having one isn't enough. <br /> This is something that should be explored as a method to combat methane emmisions. http://www.epmag.com/coffee-grounds-could-foretell-future-methane-emissions-825246 <br /> Hemp should be farmed worldwide right now. Its an excellent carbon capture tool that's been overlooked and needlessly vilified for decades now. There's still hope. Still, no matter what we do it's going to get uncomfortable before we fix our ancestors' mess. I'll own it... My mess as well. 30 years of uninformed desicions out of the 41 I've existed thus far. Perhaps more. It's hard to do more when the society we've lived in hasn't really offered many affordable and earth friendly alternatives. Oh well. Fingers crossed. Toes crossed. Silly of me since superstition isn't real. Crazy world.

Even now, cutting world wide emissions by the 50% or more required to even make a dent in runaway global warming is a political non-starter that has zero chance of happening in a world in which rapacious neoliberal economic policies are the norm nearly everywhere. <br /><br />Sure, it is theoretically POSSIBLE that craven, corrupt politicians like Hillary Clinton, Donald Trump and Theresa May might wake up tomorrow with an epiphany on climate change, just as it is theoretically POSSIBLE that Scarlett Johansen might call me up tomorrow and ask me to go out on a date with her.
