Devastating Forces of Nature

(Devastation of Hurricane Sandy in Battery Park, NYC)

In 2012 Climate Change wasn’t even mentioned in the presidential debates for the first time in 2 decades.

The world conference on climate change in Rio was a joke with no real solutions.

This week Hurricane Sandy made herself heard by slamming into the financial heart of America (New York).

As humans we think that our little, consumption based system has triumphed over nature.

But we are only a grain of sand among trillions.

Nature is 5 billion years old.

Humans as a species are 30,000 years young.

The Modern Capitalist World order is an infant at 200 years young.

Can we really triumph over the forces of nature?

7.5 million in the East Coast lose power.

That’s 2% of the United State’s total population!

When will we wake up?

Let us wake up and start living on this planet with a manner of dignity and respect.

Or else we can look forward to the following future below for Consumption Based America:
