The world is at a knife edge

Now is the time to write what I really think. I just don’t know anymore. The denial that the world has a problem that cannot be solved through economics is epidemic. There is little that I can do about that. It is not as though I have not tried to come up with some imperfect solutions. I am probably just ahead of my time. Instead I will just need to learn patience. A time will come when the solution becomes obvious…

Until then the inevitable will come to be. The global economy will move along from one crisis to another. Who knows; perhaps the worst is behind us and we can all live up to our combined potential?

And then again, maybe not. The world is at a knife edge. It could go either way from here. The problems in Greece are miniscule to the problems that an unprecedented rate of climate change will bring. We all need to wise up now before it is too late. After all; like it or not but we are all in this mess together. The way out of this mess is obvious. However there will need to be some changes politically. For example it may be time that we trusted what the UN stands for a bit more and maybe if we all voted more green minded. The status quo is simply not living up to my expectations.
