I agree totally with Michael Albert's critique of capitalism above. What more can I say. I think that the idea that any attempt at an alternative way of ordering things will always lead back to capitalism is simply foolish. Why must it be so? As far as global warming goes. There is no disputing the weather is changing. We can all tell this from first hand experience. The seasons are certainly not what they used to be. I see what you are saying about it being the nature of things to change and that in the past weather has changed over long periods of time but never as drastically as it has in the last 3o years! The weight of scientific evidence and support for the case of global warming is so great that I don't really feel that it can be disputed. I'm not an expert on global warming so I can't really say anymore on this. I think the film you refer to is simply a controversial attempt to spit against the wind. I mean, the great global warming swindle... who is being swindled then in all of this? Thanks for your visit Jens Best Tio Jens,

Nature is naturally stronger than art, ideologies and other odd or dotty phenomena. Perhaps you will succed in introducing a few more ideologies - with the same end every time - but I promise you just for a limited span of time. So it is.
