Many people are wringing their hands over climate change.

They rightly see that world leaders are ignoring catastrophic environmental change due to human activity (pollution). They suspect that this is because the rich are rich as a result of this pillage (billionaire club knows as Trump's cabinet, Major oil executives running the government ever since Reagan, etc).

They look at the horrific sight of oil spills in the Gulf, tar sands in Canada, fracking in the Midwest, and see that these "developers" have no line of decency that they won't cross for the "almighty" buck.

They rightly see what is happening in Syria, Afghanistan, and Iraq as a result of both unchecked development of oil and climate change.

They look at the 1 trillion dollar price tag with horror when shown side by side with snapshots of Detroit and Flint.

They see climate refugees beginning to flood the developed world, tropical diseases like Zika scaring us to death, and of course the disappearance of glaciers and ice caps in the relative blink of an eye. And again, they are unable to see the silver lining in all of this.

Go back to the complaint that world leaders aren't doing anything. The good thing about climate change, the silver lining, is that it will remove the world leaders. That is what "revolution" means. The wheel revolves. Those in the mud move up to the top, those at the top move down to the mud.
