Under our system, their is no option except global devastation.
I have often said that no rule or system or leader should be allowed to delay or deter efforts to save the biosphere. But nearly every influential system in operation on the Earth today is actively promoting environmental doom — capitalism (actually plutocracy masquerading as capitalism), communism (actually totalitarianism masquerading as communism), and even Christianity (actually opponents of everything Jesus ever taught masquerading as Christians).
Nearly everybody in a position of authority has an excuse to destroy the biosphere. Doing so is their right. Doing so is the law.
Abuse of Power Comes As No Surprise
When I saw the headline inside today’s New York Times “Left With Few Options, Biden Freely Approves Drilling Project,” I was not surprised.
Keep in mind that candidate Biden swore he’d never allow more drilling on Federal lands. He said: “No more drilling on Federal lands, period. Period. Period. Period.”
Pretty unambiguous, huh? Like “Congress declares war,” another clearly worded requirement that’s been violated by both parties consistently since World War II.
