This disaster has grown BEYOND the choices that individuals make.
This is now about our industries, and governments around the world taking decisive, large-scale action.
Now must be our moment for action.
We need to put a pricetag on carbon emissions, and eliminate government subsidies for oil, coal and gas companies.
We need to end the free ride that industrial polluters have been given in the name of a free-market economy, they do not deserve our tax dollars, they deserve our scrutiny.
For the economy itself will die if our eco-systems collapse.
The good news is that renewable energy is not only achievable but good economic policy.
This is not a partisan debate; it is a human one.
Clean air and a livable climate are inalienable human rights.
And solving this crisis is not a question of politics, it is a question of our own survival.
