The Sound Green

Last night i was reading the Alex Steffen article preparing for the quiz today. Reading it right after the Gore article was very disturbing. Although I'm not sure i feel the same pending death and destruction the Al Gore does, i do feel that he is making a good point in that strong action needs to be taken to combat global warming. Steffen's article further made me realizes that drastic measures need to be taken in order to change the process that has already been started. The reason this is depressing to me is our government in its current form can not take dramatic action of any sort. If al Gore is even close to right about the seriousness of this issue then we are all doomed. Things are not going to change in the way Steffen is proposing, there are to many powerful interests opposing them. Real change can not happen if our government continues to work, or not work, as it does. I don't want to be a downer but i believe that our government in incapable of anything but the smallest of reforms, and if Steffen and Gore are right then we are f-ed. Change will not come, no we can't. Sorry but we are all going to die.
