 <description>I am brand new to the internet, I am old to the goings on in our world.    We may be able to prove that the average temperatures of the earths climate are rising, but there is no way of provng that CO2 emmissions is the whole of the cause,  That said what is of concern to me and should concern all of us who love our planet and put truth above politics or personal gain, is that he whole debate about how to tackle the reduction of CO2 emmissions is now it seems, owned by politicians, who are the very last people we should trust with this especialy, in Australia and America.    Both countries have rather parochial in the way the do and say things, mantras are repeated and go unquestioned by gullable public.
Let s take the lie that solar power cannot compete with other sources of power, [in due course it wil be proven that they are lying abot solar] at this time unless the cost of power is so high we cannot afford power from coal any more    The most of the problem with this debate about how to reduce emmissions is very limited as well as the impediment of the lack of freedom of speech in AUstralia, that tries its best to use the politics of exclusion to squash ideas that may upset the associated interests of politicians, and their capitalist co-.pilots. What is required to change the way we adapt to the limits of the environment is a debate on the philosophy of democracy and capitalism,  although the idea of open democracy is a welcome one it is how democracy is captured by monopolistic forces, that is the major obstacle to allowing true intellectual gain to take the whole idea of democracy into a more appropriate paradigm for tommorows world.   What I am suggesting neh will stand and debate, is that it is not democracy itself that is the problem but how capitalism has mutated because of the massive effect the internet, has upon the ability of people to move money around, and use this power to persuade  governments to do as asked not what voters expect.       One can only hope that through such forums as this, and through publications that are in the printed form, ideas may be propagated into the main stream of opinon.    In due course, I will argue that Coopracy and Universaliasation of capitalism is the way not only to reduce the damage to our planet, by changing the philsophical understanding of wealth,   
But to resolve the major problem facing human beings, the weapon culture and the treatment of women. Both Coopracy and Universal capitalism are surreptitious uses of evolutionary quantum mechanics. They have many influences but Adam Smith and Laso Tzu could be said to be the major ones     How do we go from one destructive negative paradigm that we live in at the moment, to a logical and positive one sometime in the future, without telling any one we are going on a journey.? How do we arrive at a destination without knowing that we travelled to get there? that is the quest I suggest the human race is required to be challenged with to takes us into a far more intelligent destiniation, that we appear to be heading for at the moment, What will it be global warming or nuclear winter, or will the nuclear winter cancel global warming, or will global warming in fact because it is used, on top of the fear of nuclear winter, cause the coming generations to lose all hope and faith and become nihilistic, because of the other factors such as being economically disenfranchised because of the free lending of money for investment property.
Or is the threat of global waming being used as a way of taking the oncoming generations minds from the fact that their future prospects of accumulating worthwhile wealth has been decreased somewhat by the very same people who have brought about global warming.
    What needs to be seen is the fact that maybe local warming is not the problem but how the unrest that may become rebbelious in nature may cause some real decadent behaviour soner than we think.
    What I will be arguing for in the coming years is that an evolutionary philosophy is understood, that can become he foundation of new political parties, that take up the exponenial quanity, of people, who will become dissilusions by the present politicians, who will be seen, has being the problem not the solution.
 Hope is what causes people to become useful and at least not destructive, and although it may be out of order for myself to use forums such as this to begin this challenge I set up for my self forty years ago when I realiszed that captalism as it stands is an antithesis to democracy after a certain time, because of the way people can be dumbed down then manipulated, no one is going to convince me that either Americans and Australians are very well informed as a democratic mass or useful to the accumulation of wisdom through the democractic process and one suspects that the case is true in many other so called democracies.   Because politicians are too afraid to be as honest as they should to be useful to progress because of the fact they will not get voted for, as the aim of politicians now, is to protect property investment so much, that they cannot turn the econoic boat around, because they have gone up such a narrow alley way of thinking that the only thing that matters, is to be voted in, because of the benifits of the job,  that may be already counter to the interests of soceity.   It is best to grasp that unless consideration of what happens to the third generation is taken when decisions are made now, means that the majority is not being considered but what is in fact a partial portion of society, this is then he cause of idiosynratic culturs to occur that breed in the weakness that will cause degeneration to society because too much of the wealth availabe becomes the property of too few people.     I will continue to enjoy this Open democracy thankyou all for this possibility   Coopracy is evolutionary democracy   Universal capitalism takes care of the basic needs of the poor. kind regards graham&lt;div class=&quot;forum-topic-navigation&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;/steady_state_economics&quot; class=&quot;topic-previous&quot; title=&quot;Go to previous forum topic&quot;&gt;‹ Steady State Economics !&lt;/a&gt; &lt;a href=&quot;/truth_about_kyoto_huge_profits_little_carbon_saved&quot; class=&quot;topic-next&quot; title=&quot;Go to next forum topic&quot;&gt;Truth About Kyoto: Huge Profits, Little Carbon Saved ›&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description>
