Your missing out on one big issue here! The World will not withstand the bringing the level of progress we have In America to the whole World.
We can not or will not even extend to many of our own citizens a true level of a decent life.
What the issue on global warning is about is many of us as individuals are & have been apart of the problem.
What will & is happening is that most Americans can not & do not share in the true gains being made in productivity that is taking place.
The productivity we have is a big part of causing the pollution of our planet. Destroying the basic health of the planet.
We are at the edge of the point of failure in the ability to sustain a healthy planet.
We here in the United States with so many wanting to emulate the Wealthy in life style & the personal freedom to do so are aiding to this failure.
What D'Souza is doing is ingratiating him self to share in the material gains he seeks.
Most of us while having a good life have been blind in our allegiance to the system that rewards some so extensively.
So how will the allegiances to the future need to be modified:
The level of personal consumption for all will be reduce as the level of demand rises in the third. counties.
How or what is going to take place. Are we going to fight a war that may not even leave us with what we had before the fighting even began.
This all being to serve the Few who only wish to keep what they have & wish to gain more?
Many of Us are some what content now with what we have & only wish to keep the freedom to seek to be the best we can with what ever takes place..
The only real way to keep much of what we now have is to realize that we have to stop wishing to have it all.
A big part of that is to see that others can have better control over what they want also. The Few that see to want it all.
There is much about life in it's self that is good & nothing but staying a live & sharing life with others.
We have within our self the means to make our future one we can live with.
As far as what I see the example set by the United States & other Western Nations being follow by other Nations will only bring out the need to truly bring out the best in all to make any changes needed that can make life livable for all.
We will be faced unfillable demands & have limited resources. A way around it can & will be found.
Man kind has & will live up to the challenges.
