The American military is the biggest polluter on the planet. It is not required to adhere to any environmental laws. Other countries' militaries are also complicit. Yet individuals are being told to curtail their emissions, recycle, and reuse. I've dutifully done this since the age of 12 and realize now that it did not make the slightest bit of difference in the long run.

The truth can be a real bummer! Thank you for this insightful comment.

I don't know if you saw the story this week that China's reduction of particulate pollution helped contribute to global warming (proving the 'masking effect' is real). In the word of the late James Finlayson (and current Homer Simpson) "D'oh!"

I saw that story! Good news everywhere, but only accidentally. Thank you for sharing.

I agree, Kevin, with everything you’ve written. Those French were clever. We could stand having a few among us in the country of my birth.

Sorry for my redundant responses. Thank you for your ongoing collegiality. I appreciate all you do in support of my work.

I propose some judicious cuts at the top.

The exact number of billionaires this planet can sustain is zero.

The cuts need to be carried out just above the shoulder and just below the ear. The French invented the right tool for the job, a fast-dropping blade, that has the added bonus of having zero emissions.

I've edited this video into my blog post titled: The Pain You Feel Is Capitalism and the Living Planet Dying.

I'm looking forward to our Live Stream discussion in two days where Guy and I will be discussing narrative control in the corporate media that is all owned by the billionaires Guy discusses in this latest critique.

Solution to disproportionate contribution of the wealthy to climate collapse: Eat The Rich. Problem solved. Have a blessed day.

As I understand it, the rich are bitter. I suppose it’s still worth it. Thank you for following my work, Dr. Miklashek.
