A Cry in the Darkness

As we slide further into the Conservative Abyss, a few of us who remember the New Deal and what having a real Middle Class have something to say to add fuel to the teabag fire.

Recovery on Cobb Mountain

The stark reality of global warming:  In America we tend to believe strongly, that our technology can overcome everything.  The "winning of the west" included gold mining with water cannons, coal mining open pit, and clear cutting.  The result was pouring CO2 into the air in unbelievable volumes.  And the next result was nature reacting in an ecological way, proving the delicate inter relationship of the atmosphere.  

The atmosphere that is barely 100 miles high in total.  The atmosphere that reacts like a greenhouse.  Every time in world history CO2 has flowed into the atmosphere the ice has melted and the seas have risen; while the temperature has exploded.

We look on the world as our plaything.  We always think the poor and ignorant "overseas" or in "Latin America" deserve what they get as the ocean rises and swamps their home.  

But nature doesn't play favorites.  Hiding inside our air conditioned cars and homes from 80 degree days in February and the drought just continues as the high from hell fed by pollution won't go away, is NOT working.  Get out of your cars get into nature and you will see it everywhere:  the dead trees the 1/2 die off of every living thing in the world, the oceans fouled with plastic.

And the citizens on Cobb Mountain are in the bulls eye.  And yesterday they found Judge Scalia dead, changing the makeup of a Supreme Court that just delayed the President's action to more control the coal industry's wanton destruction of earth, we get another chance to stop the destroyers.  

Another chance to save our planet.  Another chance to cool our planet.  Another chance to be protectors and not destroyers as was so beautifully depicted in the movie "Avatar".

We all rooted for the indigenous peoples in that movie as they fought against the brutal destroyers of climate.  We cheered as nature won.

Nature is winning now.  The Great Mystery is reckoning the sins of our wanton destruction of environment and yes culture.  The ruins on Cobb Mountain are its evidence and yet another scream at us to WAKE UP!

Recovery on Cobb Mountain?  It depends on more than just the inhabitants of Cobb Mountain....
