Stephan:   This is a very sad truth. It is the creature of a concerted disinformation campaign on the part of those corporate interests which profit from the continuance of carbon energy, and the failure of the American and British governments, because they are essentially owned by those corporate interests, to meaningfully address the reality science describes. As a result people accommodate, they give up, and hunker down, with the result that nothing is done, and the world of our children, and their children, will be radically different. It is my belief that the long term result of this will be that the U.S. and the U.K., particularly the U.S., will fall further and further behind, and the centers of real geopolitical power will shift to other nations.
