Climate Change Thread

[ReluctantSamurai]

My island could be energy independent and grow a lot of its own food as well as export food and be a scientific capital for astronomy, geology, and marine science. Instead our politicians are flirting with the idea of just legalizing gambling or weed for other sources of easy tax revenue.

I think everyone (well at least government leaders) on The Big Island should be offered a week vacation in Iceland. When folks see what their "distant cousins" are doing to reduce emissions, grow most of their own food year round, and produce income from non-traditional sources (the EGF produced from barley @ $10,000 per gram would make growing pot obsolete), they might return with a different perspective on what's possible on their home turf.

But then again, maybe not...
