If not, what do you consider to be of greater importance... and how far do you think climate change would need to go for you to consider it an issue beyond any other.

In my opinion the end of oil in itself is a grave crisis certainly; but I would consider climate change presently to be more important than national sovereignty.

If the World, the UN and its superpowers, consider it justified to sieze control of Afghanistan because of acts of terror and the local supression of human rights, I would certainly consider it MORE justified to sieze control of a rouge state which would not address the issues of carbon pollution.

I see that the world is on the verge of a crisis that will cost maybe 1 or 2 billion lives if not checked, and is already too far gone for us not to pay a price: that is to say a crisis of roughly equal human cost to a limited atomic war being two continents. I find it amazing that in mainstream politics environmental issues are still sidelined by economics, nationalism, health care.

I do not know if people do not believe that the world WILL get maybe 5 degree's C hotter, I do not know if people do not believe that parts of this earth will become too hot for human habitation, that tropical diseases will wreak utter devastation on unprepared populations, that food will run out, that energy will radically under-supplied. I do not know if these things seem to distant too care about, or another generations problem. Or if people simply dont think about it?

Many people pay lip service to green ideals, but very few are willing to pay a real material cost to reduce carbon emmissions.
