p.s. When I wrote "I have spoken" that was a joke !
It takes a sense of humor, though, to recognize it as such.
Furthermore, I do not believe the entire human species will be wiped out under the conditions of a much-warmer planet with a much-higher sea level. A burning hot planet may be the result eventually.
IMHO, some will survive, perhaps in underground chambers - but I will grant that lifestyles will likely be very different from those existing today.
However, and this is the case for everything I write or have written, I may be wrong.

Re: Principles or Policies -- Which should take priority?
Ah, I haven't spoken with you enough to recognize intent and tone! That is the nature of text. The destruction of the planet and it's movements can be reduced to manageable levels through proper policy and cooperation. Moral law is probably less potential than policy given the data of my area: the unethical are rewarded and the ethical are exploited. The reason why is because law and society protects the wealthy, and how one becomes wealthy is not as relevant as 'if' you are wealthy. also: to receive social benefits almost requires lying, with honesty, it is unlikely you will receive benefits.prof wrote:p.s.

We need our news and governments to honestly start accepting the fact of global warming and start seriously addressing it aggressively quelling the loud screamers with money who are cynically denying the problem. that for now should be our goal: educating the public the threat is true, and having that truth endorsed by government and news agencies.
The economy can only be addressed by wealth limits in capitalism. money is a resource based commodity, there is only a finite amount of real money. It is liken to water, if you hold too much back, people will die of thirst, if you give out too much, it will be wasted. whenever we add money, we raise everything else, effectively balancing the limited amount of wealth in the system. the system can neither be flooded, but neither can it be too reduced, such as American economy is reflecting. the only answer will be civil war or a socialist state--or cap wealth for individuals and treat excess corporate money as owned by the people of the nation--give it to people for work, instead of for being poor. create jobs in cleanup efforts in the planet. Wall street has become a scam that is killing our societies and benefiting too few.
The best government is not a democracy, nor a socialist state, nor a communist state, but a balanced reflection of them all: a sense of community, social programs for the poor, and democratic elements to share information and balance power.

democracy is not the types of governments we have. we have republics that use the name democracy to make it a more palatable idea of government on the tongue and minds of ignorant citizens.
