The path less chosen...
Something is happening on the planetary scale. Humans have caused a lot of damage to our planet over the course of very short time. We have withdrawn from having direct experience in nature, and turned toward symbolic realities; we have a tolerance for being crowded, we can get by in managed artificial environments, we survive through commercialization, relying solely on socially facilitated constructs of nature. We are at a crossroads, and one way continues on the status quo, the other will be very challenging. Change is difficult and even when one wants it, it is hard won.

Reality
Polluters and their good buddies in our Congress are trying every legislative tactic to block the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) from protecting our health by reducing global warming emissions.
Last month, Representative Poe (R-TX) introduced legislation that would have stopped the EPA from addressing global warming under the Clean Air Act.
The Senate succeeded in temporarily blocking that action, but the U.S. House of Representatives will soon vote on another bill, sponsored by House Energy & Commerce Committee Chairman Fred Upton (R-MI), which would do exactly the same thing strip the EPA of its climate authority.
Unfortunately, certain senators are also redoubling their own efforts to undermine the Clean Air Act.
In the next week, Senators Mitch McConnell (R-KY) and John Rockefeller (D-WV) will try to attach legislation to an unrelated small business bill that would either halt or delay EPA climate action.
Sure, do something to help jobs, but tie some evil bullshit to it. These aren't representatives, they're sideshow illusionists.
The Upton, McConnell, and Rockefeller measures ignore the EPA’s science-based
It also ignores the recent statement signed by more than 2,500 scientists and economists urging Congress to allow the EPA to reduce these harmful emissions. Please write to your legislators today and tell them to stand up for science and public health by opposing these attacks on the Clean Air Act.
Representative David Price, (D., NC) gets it,
as do scientists...
NASA gets it.
Yale gets it...And they've recognized 6 distinct Americas within America who respond to climate change in very different ways...
And they have shown who else in America gets it, and who doesn't....
Anyone still not getting it?????
