One thing the Green Party is clear on is that climate rules.

Science, no doubt, can show how we and other animals, (why we should need them?) can live on a tree and plant free environment, but that isn't the goal of most poeple. I would like to continue to dwell in as biologically diverse environment as possible. To that end I try to curtail my killing spree to give other forms the best opportunity to mutate and breed.

However the increasing human population could soon strip this planet bare.

So we have some future scenarios, short and long term sustainable options maybe.

By short term I mean processes that we can see will fail at some future event, but appear to prolong the exploitation through at least a few succeeding generations.

Long term solutions are the illusions we allow ourselves to justify the short term options.

Most 'green' changes to consumerism that are touted are purely alternative uses of a finite resource. and unless we consume an ever decreasing amount, such use cannot be sustainable.

Now before I go on to trash the 'sustainability' army I support those people who want to experience a change to a sustainable lifestyle and through changing their own consumerism aim in that direction. I do not support the gangs that try and persuade others to make changes.

So what power do we have to make changes?

The power is that of freedom from fear and dependency, not the power to manipulate, change or maintain the environment so that we can continue to benefit from it.

The sustainable approach is that the environment should benefit from each of us as individuals solely from our power of freedom, not from nuclear, quantum or solar power.

So here we have the root of the argument, that there is a potential energy below the material levels, chemical, atomic, and quanum etc. That we have reached the term quantum, which really means 'packet of energy' shows we haven't really advanced from 'a bag of coal': we still see energy as being wrapped in convenient forms for our exploitation.

Such dependence on destruction of form only perpetuates the consumer not the consumed.

Sadly only the religious freaks have kept alive the idea of an alternative, but that has always been used as the basis of authourity rather than freedom.

Still using the notions gleaned from religions and personal 'spiritual or cosmic' experiences I can focus and meditate on my unsustainable consumerism with a new lust for freedom from my killing spree.

So what about the global warming and climate change? Clearly our joint failure to be concerned about increasing consumption has create a sustainable destruction largely visited upon the lesser consumers by those of us predominate ones.

What we don't need God and the Queen to tell us is:
We what nore power
We want more money, as spears and guns don't do it for us.
More money means more consumerism and the way to get people to do those things we can not or will not do for ourselves.
Money sustains the elite that create the laws of business and decides who shall profit at another's expense :- animal having no money have few privileges.
Money is the new God
If everyone has more money everyone will be rich and all will be fine.
As if

We are approaching a place where everyone wants more, want to be rich, wants war.

We are afraid of our own indulgences, can't challenge them and to frail to live alone or in small family groups.

We continue to use use religion and politics to cajole and bully people into supporting the scam of sustainable development.
