so sue me
One of the more novel aspects of our government is its division into three co-equal branches (remember, the guys who designed it were – for good reason – inherently distrustful of government and, accordingly, came up with a blueprint that is intentionally incapable of being effective and efficient unless threatened with imminent catastrophe).
This results in a structural incapacity that is facilitated by politicians who often lack the brains or testicles to tackle big issues.
Not the most elegant of solutions, but effective nonetheless.
Let’s apply this to the current dilemma over climate heating.
Only 1% of the scientists in the world do not accept the relevant findings of climate science. But this 99% majority is not mirrored in the galactically void minds of elected officialdom, the media, or the teabagging masses yearning to be free.
Ergo, this is one of those issues that is apt to be substantially resolved in places that have rules and deadlines and tend to make decisions based on the weight of evidence and other troublesome metrics.
Good thing, too.
We have until 2015 (at the latest) to cap GHG emissions globally – and then wind them back – or the die may be cast for the end of the human genome project:
Sue the f***ers!
All of them!
And that mental Lilliputian, Glenn Beck, just for good measure!
