IN LESS THAN A MONTH GLOBAL WARMING ACTIVISTS AND ALL THOSE CULTURAL FINATICS HOPPING ON THE BANDWAGON WILL DEBATE CLIMATE CHANGE IN COPENHAGEN. SOME, SUCH AS DIRECTOR OF THE COPENHAGEN CONSENSUS CENTER THINK TANK, QUESTION WHETHER THE ISSUE OF MALNUTRITION AND THE EFFECTS THAT GIVEN SANCTIONS WILL PLACE ON INDIVIDUALS IN THE 3RD WORLD WILL BE UP FOR DISCUSSION. OXFAM, A GROUP OF NON-GOVERNMENTAL ORGANIZATIONS FROM THREE CONTINENTS THAT WORKS TO FIGHT POVERTY AND INJUSTICE, HAS WARNED THAT AS WEALTHY NATIONS DIVERT MONEY TOWARD HELPING 3RD-WORLD NATIONS FIGHT CLIMATE CHANGE, MILLIONS OF MORE PEOPLE WILL SUFFER THROUGH MALNUTRITION AND LACK OF MEDICAL TREATMENT. HOW? THINK ABOUT IT. RIGHT NOW EFFORTS TO CONVERT FOOD STOCK INTO ALTERNATIVE ENERGY NEEDS TO BE TAKEN FROM SOMEWHERE. THUS, FOOD THAT WAS GROWN TO FEED PEOPLE IS NOW USED TO FEED CARS. ADDITIONALLY, ALL AID MONEY THAT WOULD BE USED TO PAY FOR MEDICAL EXPENSES OR FEEDING MILLIONS WILL BE USED TO PLANT NEW TREES.
DO THESE PEOPLE PLACE THE VALUE OF SOIL OVER THAT OF A HUMAN LIFE. ALL I HAVE TO SAY TO THAT IS: "NO DEATH FOR SOIL!"
I THINK ITS TIME TO STOP THE FANATICISM.
