Why are we stoking global suicide?

Climate deal unlikely soon, as emissions grow | Reuters: "(Reuters) - A new and broader climate deal is out of reach for now and instead nations need to focus on how to replace the ailing Kyoto Protocol before 2020, Britain's minister of state for energy and climate change said on Monday.

The view is recognition that agreement on a pact that commits all major greenhouse gas polluters to curbing the growth in planet-warming emissions is slipping further away, in part because of sluggish economic growth and a mounting debt crisis."

If we wanted to solve sluggish growth and mounting debt, we would look to solving the environmental problem, not ensuring disaster. I suspect the nations have failed and that from now on it is the people acting locally that will create car free communities that combine locally the aspects we associate with a city. It is disgusting to contemplate that politicians cannot make and interpret the connection between today's troubles and the future death of the planet.
