In the lead-up to Paris COP 2015 in December, it has become very evident that the forces of Capital have arrayed themselves against us.
We all know that Big Oil, Big Pharma, Big Tobacco and the assorted denizens of the MIC are pulling out all the stops, and that they are throwing billions of dollars in a fraudulent attempt to derail the worldwide grass-root popular movement for curtailing carbon pollution.
We have decided to publish our thoughts, not as Climate Scientists (which we are not), but as socially and politically aware members of the voting public, and hopefully our opinions will resonate with those other thinking members of the community, who can put two and two together.
Firstly, repeating that we are not Climate Scientists – and we have no need to investigate the scientific intricacies of carbon pollution, as it has already been done for us! There are thousands of peer-reviewed scientists who have examined the facts and the science, and at least 97% of them have concluded that humankind has produced dangerous anthropogenic warming that – unless reversed – will cause significant chaotic changes to the ecosystem. The science is god-damn settled!
Those who deny the settled science (whom we call “The Deniers”) are simply heretics to the modern consensus, but being backed by billions of dollars from Big Oil et al, they are a powerful force indeed. We are at war, fighting for our very lives, up against a huge, powerful opposition.
Secondly – the name of this blog: “It’s not Climate Change – It’s Climate Chaos!” Simple words, but basically speaking Truth to Power. The Deniers have (with their billions of fossil fuel dollars) totally destroyed the “Global Warming” narrative (even though carbon pollution warming is the root cause of our problems). Worse than that, the Deniers have belittled the entire concept of “Climate Change”, by inundating us with propaganda that the climate ALWAYS changes, and treating us like Luddites.
No, the only means of fighting back against the Capital backed Deniers, is to mark out the playing field – namely, that humanity is facing a likely extinction event of CLIMATE CHAOS unless we take heed of the warnings, and fight for our very lives against the forces of Capital arrayed against us.
Finally, we need to take control of the narrative and bring the fight back against those who seek to frankly kill us. CLIMATE CHAOS is a term that most people can readily understand and appreciate. Strange climactic events are constantly breaking out, causing panic and confusion, which can all be sheeted home to the greatest of all crimes against humanity, that of carbon pollution.
If we can do the slightest thing to assist in this battle to the death, we will do so.
P.S. As this is a very emotional argument, we understand the need for people to occasionally let off steam now and then, and swear their fucking asses off!
Peace!
