Climate-change demonstrations show our leaders that we want them to take steps to stop global warming. We must also ask our leaders to change the human activities that are causing climate change.
- We want them to block corporate control over our government and the decisions it makes.
- We want them to end international sales of weapons and begin to encourage peace and a focus on life style and resource use.
- We want them to discourage unsustainable resource harvests.
- We want them to encourage human rights and equality.
- We want them to speak out for wild animals and natural ecosystems.
- We want them to call for restoring the damaged lands and seas.
- And finally, we want them to oppose gender inequality and overpopulation.
Even if we stopped burning fossil fuels today, activities causing climate change would continue. Farming, deforestation, industrial fishing, desertification, construction, and growth of the human population would continue to waste the Earth and release CO2 and other greenhouse gases.
GR: The ignorance displayed by this range manager is shocking. It should remind us all that focusing too closely on a single goal can cause us to overlook critical alternatives. This article describes an instance where managing nature to benefit domestic livestock creates a willingness to take chances. Range managers have gambled on new techniques and new species for many years. They ignore negative possibilities and focus on their goal—more food for cows or sheep. They do not consider ecosystem responses to their new techniques. They do not consider the effects on on soil microorganisms, and they do not worry about future invasion potential. The result of similar “range management” has been the loss of more than 100-million acres of productive native grasslands and shrublands in the western U. S.
