Heating up the temperature of the earth -- New Economy
To very slightly slow down the heating up of the earth -- by wearing warmer sweaters, or using our bicyles more, or separating our garbage with greater care or by putting filters into some smokestacks -- is a pitifully ineffectual approach. Slowing down the heating up is plainly not the issue. That is patently not enough. The task is to give the earth a chance to again gradually cool down. There is no hope of that, that will not happen unless we create a from the ground up New Economy, an economy has not Mass Production but Hi-Tech Community Production at its base.
