“I think this is all bad news ....”

Well, of course it’s not good news. It’s difficult to paint an ecological disaster as an Ivory Snow commercial. The situation is what it is. Pols will fight it with sound bites and photo ops, as they have neither expertise or capabilities to solve the problem.

Practitioners, on the other hand, tend to actually DO something about the problem. As yet, there is no perfect solution to the problem facing them. However, they know more than most about what will help the situation. Given the environmental problems we’ll be facing in the short term, I’m not willing to go “all wobbly” when it comes to taking constructive action.

Now, there are those that will go into hysterics simply from what their friends tell them. Others, will forgo parroting the PC mantra and actually expend the time and do some research. It’s not that hard with the internet. What is disheartening is listening to the number of folks that clearly don’t have a clue about what they are talking about. I’m specifically referencing the enviros, and their fellow travelers of the day, the press.

Neither is particularly well educated about the particular subject they are holding forth upon, yet that does not stop them from turning their amp volume up to 11. To listen to them, one might think they were politicians themselves. In truth they are minions of the same, which gets into agendas, and dark alleys that I’m not really not comfortable walking down.

I can’t emphasize this enough. Do your own research, if you are really interested in the problem. Don’t rely on others to do it for you. Most people are quite happy to be led, which accounts for why the country’s in such a pickle of late. There’s no reason you have to make the same mistake.
