I'm going to watch Gore's film, even though regardless of whether it's an inconvenient truth or not the man is a bloody hypocrite. It's true that governments are nearly powerless to do anything about the destruction of the world, and in order to stop the destruction of the environment most of people especially the ones with the guns must becomes less materialistic and more spiritual. I really can't see that happening soon, but eventually we will if we don't all get wiped out by a major cataclysm. What bothers me about all the media fuss surrounding climate change is that it distracts our attention from more local and immediate forms of environmental damage, its not just about CO2, its plastic bags, food miles, pesticides, mono-culture, obesity/diet, everyday social practice. If we want to sustain ourselves we have to radically change our lives, and that could mean sacrificing a lot of things that even I have become dependant upon. Climate change is a natural phenomenon, its always been that way, but we mustn't become preoccupied with questions that we will NEVER be able to answer, such as is it our fault? It might be, maybe there's fuck all we can do anyway, so rather than politics being so burdened with bullshit treaties about how to stop it why aren't we working out ways to pull together so we can survive EVERY possible future climatic scenario, or at least most of them? Because we are too caught up worrying about money and who's got the biggest cock.
