Bali global meltdown

The Bali global warming conference got off to a rough start last week . to no ones surprise . an interesting position by the Chinese government is . "That Americans must stop living such extravagant lifestyles. ' the Chinese must have forgotten that they burn more coal than any country on earth . That pollution is running rampent in china and killing people at an alarming rate . But the Chinese government claims that's OK because they are a developing nation, and they have a lot of people . one could form the opinion that the Chinese government modeled itself after the Klingon empire .

The American position is just as ludicrous . The American position is that " Severe cutbacks in carbon emissions will damage our competitiveness in the world markets . " How could it do that we do not make anything in America anymore, except babies .

While this debate rages and endless conferences are held in tropical Paradise resorts . Where the attendees are treated like royalty. Who would want that to stop ? The globe continues to warm , the ice in Greenland melts at faster rates than expected and in the driest parts of America [ Phoenix and Las Vegas ] the population continues to swell . Global change continues at its own pace . No matter what we do or do not do .

We will have to adapt . I believe that one trend I will see in my life time is . enclosed living environments. where we will be safe . Where we will go outside occasionally. Just to remember what it was like.

We will be forced into this living arrangement . Because in an enclosed environment everything can be filtered , recycled and conserved . Resources can be managed with great efficiency and cost effectiveness. It will be economically driven.

Consider this. for decades the city of Los angles have issued warnings to people with respiratory illness not to go outside because of the air pollution. Notice how more and more people are developing asthma? It is getting so hot , that even people in the northeast are not going out in the heat anymore and A/C has become just as important as heating in the winter. Does anyone really believe this will get better?

Another angle is this. With so many diseases like TB making a strong comeback. In an enclosed living environment [like prison] you would be compelled to receive inoculations and submit to health screening . Sound like science fiction?So did the mall 50 years ago. It is a short step from an enclosed shopping environment to a enclosed living environment. especially in America where we love to shop. Watch for Blackwater to take over the security of the malls.

It is already happening in japan. Europe will be next. America will be last because we have so much land and resources. But we will eventually adapt to that kind of living arrangement. Remember any form of life that can not adapt to its environment will become extinct. Were to smart for that.
