Copenhagen has failed. The UN has failed to address the most important crisis in human history. This is now the time for sanctions, boycotts and embargoes. A new alliance is needed. An alliance of hope and peace and justice must be built to oppose the axis of pollution, extinction and self destruction.

With a rate of 15.3% of Americans still without insurance that is a very solid signifier that the system has not improved in 15 years. It is also very likely the demographic that needs the most assistance, but time and again is gravely overlooked.
Our nation needs a change but many are afraid, be it personal investment at stake or simply fear of something different, to look at possibilities outside of what they already know works "just well enough."

The major difference between the current environmental and earlier tobacco crises is size. The amount of money behind corporations resisting positive environmental change is massive.
Corporations have become the major influence in the way society has developed, and intertwined with governments to varying degrees they will try to keep control.
Besides cleaning up the processes, excess wasteful consumption in the wealthier countries could be reduced providing immediate environmental relief. But this will not happen as long as these businesses need profit and commerce must expand. And when so many of us want more stuff.
