Climate Change
Nothing will happen until one of several things happen:
- we go past the tipping point and the climate changes beyond our ability to ignore it,
- it fails to eventuate - highly unlikely but has to be considered a possibility,
- the planet gets hit by a comet and climate change occurs rather quicker than anyone expected.
Western governments will never do anything serious about climate change, it is not in their interest. No one will vote for a government that is committed to serious targets as it will impact heavily on their current life style - increased food, electricity and petrol prices as a base.
Climate Change has become another box to tick on the political trail. Until we move away from either a democratic and/or a capitalist driven society don't expect much to happen on the climate change front until the shit hits the fan.
