The World Of Shadows

Of course there are realities within realities, truths within truths, lies within lies and if we are to believe some scientists, worlds within worlds. All inexorably bound together by thin threads of time and space, into a shimmering web of infinite possibility and potential; delicately balanced by conflicting gravity's somewhere between past and future, light and dark, good and evil, life and death. Only the names have been changed to protect the guilty and innocent alike.

This space will be used for an appeal to those gathered in our name at the UN climate change conference in Copenhagen.

Climate Change

Nothing ever changes, except the colour and inherent bias of America's forty fourth President. America and China still remain the major impediments to any meaningful outcomes, at the United Nation's 'climate change conference' in Copenhagen. Protectionism and petty minded nationalism are the seeds of individual destruction in an unfolding global catastrophe. While world leaders fly into the conference in their executive Jumbo jet's intent upon playing the blame game and ace up their extra large sleeves, the 'uncertainty principle'. The climate change Luddites (funded by the military and industrial complex), smashed the scientific data and research techniques behind it. Screaming incoherently that it is the work of the Devil, a blasphemy against all oil guzzling, God fearing, burger eating, obese Americans.

Global warming is a test, part natural fluctuation compounded by man's irresponsible, selfish pollution. A test we can pass by coming together as a collective humanity, by understanding that pollution and global warming do not stop or start at the borders of a single country. It is a global problem that will impact upon millions, with coastal cities flooded and fertile farming land lost under the deepening sea levels.

Only by coming together, working together and planning together as a collective humanity, citizens of this fragile earth. Beyond rescue by any but ourselves, if the planet we depend upon for our existence dies the same protracted death as Mar's. The balances holding life in place are fragile enough. Without humanity straining them to breaking point in the search for ever larger profit margins and limitless natural resources.

Humanity has unwittingly become the Agent of its own premature destruction, through increased determination and the scale of its economic endeavours. In the ongoing scramble for finite recourse's, there will be winner's and losers but ultimately it will be humanity that suffers the consequences of ecological change.

Resulting in the displacement of millions, billions when all around the world, coastal maps are redrawn, capital cities relocated and through increased acidification, the sea's left a stinking expanse of poisonous blue algal bloom, devoid of life. Coral Reef's just bleached, dead reminders of the diversity and multiplicity of created form upon our precious, rare, blue and white speck in the pulsating blackness of space.

Why do we destroy this garden, motivated by selfishness, greed and ignorance, when it is not ours to destroy? We are standing upon the edge of inevitable destruction, arguing like selfish, inconsiderate children about how far the fall will be. When it is the actions of our leaders and the puppet master's of the military and industrial complex, the financiers and great white industrialists. Who like Leviathans rise from the silent depths to gulp the barley breathable air. That the children and children's children will be forced to live with, by which they judge the irresponsibility of the chattering political classes. Intent upon selling inadequate response and compromise at the very tipping point, beyond which return and rebalance becomes increasingly more improbable.

In the name of humanity we, they must act now if we are to avert the man made catastrophe of climate change. The consequences of which will ripple forwards in time, damning future generations to pay the price for the West's greed and complacency following the Industrial Revolution. Let the legacy we leave to them, to humanity not be an extinction level event and the avoidable destruction of unique ecosystems and environments. A dead uninhabitable planet where life exists only in the shadows, civilization having regressed back to the 'stone age' before, like flickering candles, being extinguished forever amongst histories bleached bones.

Of all that has been destroyed or lost through greed and the irresponsible science of the fast return and optimum production, humanity and humanity alone, remains the only Agent of its own destruction. The clever monkey that tore down the forest, polluted the sea's and asphalted over any land not already under the deepening waters of global warming. Who in the end was to selfish to plan for the future and to stupid to be able to save itself from a global catastrophe of its own creation.

Only by acting decisively, by acting immediately, by acting together can we leave our children's, children's children with a world still able to support life in all its forms. Other than the barest, most meagre of existence's upon a polluted, dieing world. Let it not be said of us all, they were to greedy, to selfish, to nationalistic to care that the actions of a relative minority are costing the earth.

In the collective struggle for survival, ultimately there can be no winner's when tomorrow is polluted and killed today. Compromise and delay are inexcusable because the consequences are clearly visible to everyone and everything, except the Ostriches with their head's buried in the sand, or those for whom the economic benefits of the military and industrial complex are worth
the cost we, humanity will pay in the years, decades to come.
