Denying Change

THE WAY IT'LL ALL GO DOWN - and you know this is true - is that the human species will develop wind and solar energy, reverse climate change, and save the planet, and in response all the idiot conservative climate change deniers will drool to us that there never was a problem in the first place, it was all made up, it was all a liberal hoax. Its what they say now, and its what they'll say if they live long enough to say it far into the future. Too funny. They also say stupid things like, the human race is too small to ever have any real impact on Earth's environment, or that, in the long run, the environment will take care of itself, so we don't need to worry about it. They say the same thing about economic disasters; in the long run, the free market corrects itself, without any help from the government. A single response pertains to both the environment and the economy: in the long run, we're all dead...so....isn't there anything we can do, pretty please, while we're still here? Why resist change, and human corrective action, either for the environment or the economy, so very desperately, at all costs? Is it because to admit the need for change undermines the basic values behind conservative thought? Mysterious forces of nature, such as invisible hands and deities cannot and will not relieve us of the consequences of our actions. We had better learn to do it ourselves. Time to grow up, and discard our man made deities and mysterious, invisible forces. The one thing conservatives fear and hate the most, change, is the one thing we need more than ever, the one thing that will save us from ourselves. and change is exactly what is taking place, as more of us understand and accept the reality of our impact on the planet, and how to make it sustainable.
