No one knows how we stop global warming
Our civilization is unable to stop global warming
BECAUSE
POLITICS IS LOCAL
AND THE ATMOSPHERE IS GLOBAL
We act where we live
We exist for those we know
(For data systems we are numbers)
SOME OF US ARE WEALTHY
SOME ARE STARVING
EVERYONE DIES
That’s reality–not the system
SOME PAY TO PLAY
THE GREATER THEIR ADVANTAGE, THE MORE THEY PAY
That’s the system–working as designed
We live and work in unorganized communities
Our political system as doesn’t empower individuals
Democracy is government in which the governed authorize the use of public power
OUR DEMOCRATIC PROCESSES ARE OBSOLETE
Elections confer public authority–not government by the people
In a democracy, the governed authorize public power
We are limited by our political system
Our system rewards (SOME OF) us for global warming
PLAY NOW, LET SOMEONE ELSE PAY
ALL POLITICS IS LOCAL IS THE SYSTEM
THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY IS NOT A DEMOCRATIC ORGANIZATION
Communities have no ability to act collectively.
Communities lack a political structure to use collective power and coordinate for action
ThIS IS NOT DEMOCRACY
THE REPUBLICAN PARTY IS OVERTLY HIERARCHIC

Water & energy outages are already frequent
Traffic is already intolerable
RESIDENTS ARE OBJECTING
THE COMMUNITY ISN’T ORGANIZED
The community remains inside the process the development system already knows how to defeat: hearings, objections, petitions, scattered evidence, procedural delay and exhaustion.
