Dear Climate Campaigners: You need to get serious about saving the planet. Any day now would be great. I know you’ve been at it for 30-some years, and this would be a great year to finally get it right and break through.
Listen: You are up against people who are either deeply in denial or predators or both. You wonder how Rex Tillerson, CEO of ExxonMobil, can sleep at night after funding climate denial campaigns? Like a rich baby swaddled in the finest cloth in the warmest, safest nursery in all the world.
And you know that that climate change will displace hundreds of millions, threatens our very civilization, and quite possibly will ultimately kill billions. Yet even when you explain to deniers this risk, they stick to their scientific prostitutes and paid shills.
Climate deniers are people who reject science and the precautionary principle. You’re not going to be able to reason with them. They don’t believe in reason. Many of them believe that winning is the only thing; as I said earlier, they are predators. They have a different morality. Perhaps some day there will be time to psychoanalyse these people, but right now we need to get moving.
We are running out of time.
Climate Warriors: If you want real action on climate change, you need to know your enemy. He is not like you. He does not play fair, he plays only and always to win.
You do not confront such an enemy with candlelight vigils. 350.org, I’m looking at you. If you’re serious about 350, and we need to be, candlelight vigils are not sending that message. Vigils and rallies are not working; they are being ignored.
Climate warriors, I tell you this: You do not bargain with people willing to risk their own children. You do not trust people willing to risk the very planet we all depend upon for life. Such people are dangerous fools and must be stopped. We can psychoanalyse them later.
Such reckless and greedy people will give us the respect we demand, and no more. Charge Rex Tillerson with crimes against humanity. Make an example of him that may scare the rest of them enough to get out of the way of saving our souls.

Can someone please explain to me why the major source of greenhouse gases is rarely, if ever mentioned in any commentary regarding climate change? There is much talk about renewable energy, better insulated buildings, energy efficient lighting, etc. but there is not much dialogue on the biggest villain of all.
The largest source of greenhouse gases is from the raising of livestock for human consumption which, according to very reliable source ( Worldwatch Institute ) accounts for most ( 51% ) of all green house gas emissions!
Are we that addicted to consuming animal flesh that we choose to not even discuss this issue? Is the meat industry lobby so powerful that they can continue to hide and down play this now well know fact? Why are people still eating meat when it is so very bad for their health and the health of their planet when there are so many delicious veggie alternatives?
The fact is that if everyone on our planet changed their diet from an animal to a plant based diet we could eliminate MOST of the greenhouse gases entering our atmosphere which are quickly condemning virtually all living beings on this planet to certain death as the planet will soon no longer be able to support human, animal or plant life.
I feel that we must focus on what is clearly the largest emitter of greenhouse gases if we have any hope at all of saving our world! Bottom line: we must stop eating meat immediately or our destiny will be sealed! Please read this article and do everything possible to ensure that our planet survives the biggest threat we have ever known!
