Thirty years ago, the world was about to end in nuclear annihilation. We survived by the skin of out teeth and because a few people actually came to their senses and saw that the world was heading for destruction. The period of reds under the bed that was as depicted in the famous magazine as ‘MAD’ (Mutually Assured Destruction) was over.
Now more then ever, the world needs to come to it senses once again. We are now in more danger then ever before and man once again is responsible for its own demise. We all know that the environment is in danger and every one on the planet must help if we are to have a future that is worth living. I have no doubt that man could adapt if we did nothing but would life be worth living, in a world with no wildlife, forests and temperatures that reach intolerable levels.
Too long have the politicians ignored the facts or refused to believe the overwhelming evidence given to them by scientists. The excuse they give is that it will cost jobs. This is a false economy but this view is shared by major corporations that make huge profits from oil. Fortunately these people are now coming to their senses mainly through pressure from the public.
We need to keep the pressure on these people, otherwise they will slip back into they old ways and we will be in a worse situation. We as individuals also need to make more of an effort, I know this is old hat and you have heard it many times before, but we need to keep hearing and it needs to reinforced at every opportunity.
