Global warming is a "disaster waiting to happen" which _will_ happen under capitalism.

I think the disaster ain't waitin' no more. You've got grass growing in Antartica and the permafrost in the tundra is melting. Ack! The smell of methane is getting heavy.

I hope Doug and others are right about capitalist ruling classes being able to get their shit together and get this disaster under control; but I doubt that they will be able to muster the political will *in time*. That leaves the ball in our court and while our team creates the power, it keeps giving it away to the other side (conservative intertia) and thus the power the change the situation. I'm probably only going to be around long enough to see the tip of the iceberg melt. It's the kids, I feel sorry for.

Best, Mike B)
