You’ll know that you want to stop ecocide, in time, when, as the Greatest Generation did, you’ve dropped everything, and run and put your very being in way of the greatest emergency ever to confront children, grandchidlren, all of humanity, and all of Creation. Until then, stopping ecocide is just a feel-good hobby for you.
BTW, how many people will have to risk it all to stop an industry bankrolled by $50 trillion in fossil fuel reserves, and sociopathic enough to destroy everything to get it?
All I see, anywhere on the global warming scene, are hobbyists. The 1 in a million exception proves the rule.

pic. You have no idea how little drinkable water is on earth. See pic.
Bryce Kuchik shared Carl Green's photo.
Kind of puts it into perspective, eh?
So
I'm sat here thinking about how astounding our Universe is, all those
planets, Mars, Venus, Pluto, Saturn, Uranus, the Moon etc. You see the
pictures of them from space and can't
help but be in awe of such magnificence but they're dead aren't
they......Just rock, dust and gas.
There is no grass, trees, no birds, no lakes or rivers, no lions or
giraffes, elephants and ants, no humans and all because of water. Yet
what is truly astounding is actually how little of it there is on Earth
and the amount of fresh water is miniscule (see pic). Without that water
we'd be another barren rock in space, no colours, no life just an empty
ball of dust and rock held in an orbit around the sun until it burnt
out. This is what fracking threatens the planet with, becoming just rock
and dust, polluting the small amount of water we have for profit. A
short term benefit for a few at the cost of all life
The fact is that fracking carries risks, no oil man will tell you
different, they admit it freely yet say they can manage those risks.
This has not been the case in most Countries such as the USA where there
is a wealth of evidence of pollution, of sickness in man and beast and
of droughts caused by the water useage.
We've seen the Pacific Ocean is now being polluted with radioactive
waste from Fukushima, where peoples are being advised not to eat seafood
and food grown in Japan. We cannot afford mistakes with water, there is
no back up, no spare planet we can go to replenish our stock. We have a
limited amount and that amount is a lot smaller than you think, the
picture is genuine -I know it's hard to believe but that is it -if your
stocks were that low in your cupboard would you take chances ?
The image was a US Geological Survey image so is accurate.
Are you really willing to risk all life on Earth for a Gas and Oil
Company's profits ?

I Love you all, known and unknown. Nothing can change that, even this. Yesterday I did a massive posting of the pic below in FB. It is the first time anyone has called for action that would likely save a future for humanity. Wanna know how many replied? 2 - two 'likes.' The point? EVERYONE I KNOW IS 'OK' WITH THE WORLD GOING TO HELL. The point isn't that the pic below is perfect, tho it may be - I'm a life long master of massive strategic change. But it is at least in the ball-park - AND NO ONE WANT'S ANYTHING TO DO WITH PAYING SUCH A PRICE. Had my father's generation been as we are today, here in DC the flags on buildings would be Swastikas. We are a nation of Talkers, Lip-service liberals. My FB community, my FB friends, are Talkers, not Doers of any consequence, my beloved brothers and sisters all. They Talk AS A SUBSTITUTE for paying the price to change the future. I don't know how this will affect my future use of FB, but I suspect it will. I am not at liberty to feed the deadly globe-killing, future killing disease of Lip Service. A Joyful New Year to you all. Loving you all

huffingtonpost.ca The New York Times editorial board has accused the Harper government of seeking to "guarantee public ignorance" by muzzling federal scientists. In a scathing piece published Sunday, the newspaper argues Harper Conservatives have tried to restrict publicly financed scientists from sharing information...
"It
is also designed to make sure that nothing gets in the way of the
northern resource rush — the feverish effort to mine the earth and the
ocean with little regard for environmental consequences. The Harper
policy seems designed to make sure that the tar sands project proceeds
quietly, with no surprises, no bad news, no alarms from government
scientists. To all the other kinds of pollution the tar sands will
yield, we must now add another: the degradation of vital streams of
research and information."

Climate Change Likely To Be 'Catastrophic Rather Than Simply Dangerous.' huffingtonpost.com
We
have passed the stage of dangerous-simply because we have not faced the
