Money over Mankind?

Again there was a protest march in London with thousands people that doesn't get the air time on mainstream media that it deserves. People all over the world are trying to get a message out to the people and the message is that there is a greater threat to mankind than ISIL and it is Climate Change. Whether you want to believe it or not, it is our fault it is happening so fast and we will not be able to stop it all we can do is try to put a band aid on it, but the first thing that we still have to do is to convince some people that we have a problem!

As sad and angry that it makes me there are still people who doubt that it is a bad thing!(mostly Americans and Fox so called news!) The media has a lot to do with this perception and you know why???? Because many of them are owned by big oil, so they are not exactly going to bad mouth the people who are paying their wages! It saddens me when the need for corporate profits is valued over our survival. Some very naive people may claim that it natural for some places to have violent storms while other places are suffering from droughts and forest fires, it may be natural to have them but the sheer amount is extreme and it is happening far to quickly for us to adapt.

The people who bemoan that it is natural I would tell them that growing old and getting wrinkles is "natural", so why do they spend all there time and money trying to stop that, but above all... why do the corporation spend millions in this industry? The very simple answer is money. There is more money to be made in trying to keep us looking young than trying to save the planet.

The really sad thing is that the poorer countries will suffer the brunt of it. low lying countries like Bangladesh etc especially from rising sea levels. And what do you think droughts will do to all the crops?? We will face having to pay a higher and higher amount for the most basic items. People watch too many movies, they think it will be dramatic and happen immediately, will will start to die off slowly because we can't afford to heat our homes or buy food and anyone who has been paying attention will see the amount of storms and unpredictable weather has been going on for at least the last 10-15 years.

The sad thing is, that until it affects the very rich ( the tory toffs!) the rest of us will be forced to suffer the affects of Climate Change. And just because it may be nice and warm where you are now, doesn't mean it's not happening and that's also why it's called GLOBAL WARMING!

Why is it that when the bankers committed huge amounts of fraud ( and are still!) they get a government handout ASAP but when the people are ultimately going to suffer they have no money to give, if anything they have actually been cutting public funding for the last 30 years! That should tell you how much of a priority the people are to the government, they just care about one thing...MONEY and doesn't that mean this society is less of a democracy and is leaning more to Fascism??
