Copenhagen – the Madness and false Hope of the Green Movement

So it’s over – we are all doomed!

At least when you believe the international outcry over the failure of the Climate Conference in Copenhagen. Especially the Green Movement cried foul especially loud.

Gimme a break!

Anyone who seriously follow international politics knows that it is VERY hard to many countries to agree to a BINDING new international law. It is almost IMPOSSIBLE to get ALL countries to agree to a solution for such a complex problem.

So instead of a lot of public pressure and hysteria some smart diplomacy and solutions should have been produced – especially by the Green Movement.

Instead of one binding law / goal for all there should have been different levels of commitment: stricter ones for rich countries, who can afford to do more – and maybe more generic "gentler" ones for developing and poor nations.

Climate Change won’t be solved by one master plan – as exciting and mind pleasing that idea is. Instead we need to have many solutions and approaches to the problem.

One more thing: the bashing of the politicians was especially surreal and stupid.

They only acted based on the interested of their countries and economies. So they only reflected the greed and laziness of their people.

Neither Obama nor Wen Jiabao are responsible for the pollution and waste their countries create – it’s the millions of citizens that want to drive cars, eat loads of food and consume the newest goods. Just because the Chinese are not as rich as Americans doesn’t mean they wouldn’t be just as wasteful and greedy.

We are genetically programmed to want MORE of everything, because only the abundance and security of good supplies guarantees our offspring’s future and perpetuation of our DNA. We are built to deal with "modest" times – but we prefer plentifulness.

Unless consumers are truly willing to consume less or/and smarter, than climate change can be reversed. At the moment we need to reduce consume and invent new  sustainable ways of living. We are not there yet – so only a smarter handling of resources will work.

So Climate Change protest groups should create local groups and "harass" … I mean visit local people and "help" them to live greener.

Don’t ask politicians to "regulate" a greener lifestyle, because any limits set by them will create only sentiments against doing anything to prevent climate change. And politicians won’t pass the chance to "abuse" climate change laws to sneak in their own dirty deals.
