And the part about government saving us is also correct, we have to save ourselves because government + power = a necessary evil. We are to blame for this mess, because we haven't kept the rampant supercilious corruptness under control. The corruption is so widespread it infinitely convolutes deciphering where to begin cleaning it up. Perhaps constant reminders that man is inherently evil would help, no wait...we're reminded of that daily, perhaps then it's a refusal to connect the dots. How rational is it to force nations to retract usage of fossil fuels and dependence on coal for electricity by implementing higher costs to end users when no adequate (reliable, widespread and economically feasible) replacement system has even been set up. There isn't, even viable bridge systems in place for transition. The pie-in-the-sky ideologies of the environmental movements have not rationally thought things through. This begs the question; what is the desired end result of the movement? Is it absolutely no usage of earth's natural resources? Do the materials used for producing windmills and solar systems not come from and a result of ravaging the earth? Even if we lived in caves and our only nutritious sustenance were naturally grown grains, the process of digging those caves would be considered raping the earth and altering its esthetics or uncover inorganic substances that may be transposed into our atmosphere and water supply. Let's not forget impeding or destruction of biodiversity and impending species extinction caused by eating the grains. As far as the impending climate disaster is concerned, do you choose to believe the science that governments paid to produce (with established motive), even in the face of massive contradicting evidence? The inherent problem with man's wit is we foolishly think we are in control. You are absolutely right about this part; “There was no government program to invent anything…”
And the part about government saving us is also correct, we have to save ourselves because government + power = a necessary evil. We are to blame for this mess, because we haven’t kept the rampant supercilious corruptness under control. The corruption is so widespread it infinitely convolutes deciphering where to begin cleaning it up. Perhaps constant reminders that man is inherently evil would help, no wait…we’re reminded of that daily, perhaps then it’s a refusal to connect the dots.

I think our efforts could be better achieved by encouraging less fossil fuel use by using the "less dependence on foreign oil" argument in most cases. Good work.
