Marching Off the Cliff

Noam Chomsky, Truthout: 'It s no secret that the US government is lagging on climate issues.... To gain perspective on what s happening in the world, it s sometimes useful to adopt the stance of intelligent extraterrestrial observers viewing the strange doings on Earth. They would be watching in wonder as the richest and most powerful country in world history now leads the lemmings cheerfully off the cliff.'

At Durban Talks, Government Officials Fiddle as Planet Burns

Laura Carlsen, Foreign Policy in Focus: 'Government representatives, gathered at climate change talks in Durban, South Africa, have been fiddling for the past week.... Durban, like Cancun, in the end will be mostly just another global showcase for this clash of worldviews.... One of the most important steps will be to broaden the focus from once-a-year meetings in high-carbon conference centers, to the fields, communities and town halls where alternatives are already growing and a stronger political consensus can be built from the bottom up.'
