[microsound] Someones finally said it

[Manannan Mac Lir]

  I don't know , it seems there were some frightfully handsome
  looking young men in a Bentley advertisement doing something test-
  wise which was supposed to drastically reduce car exhaust without
  sacrificing performance. There are also great recent strides in
  environmentalism and diplomacy (a plan to reduce soot from cooking
  fires in india and china for example). It seems that the flashy and
  grandiose or the small and humble seem to generate the best
  advertising, the roof of plants seemingly somewhere in between.

  My issue is that I dont think the structures curently in place are
  capable of responding quickly enough, there are a hundred different
  species of insect on the way out in Ireland and we're a tiny little
  island, our ecosystems are not yet on the brink of collapse but if
  the insect population drops drastically enough, pollinisation will
  become a problem, our seasonal cycles are phase shifting, flowering
  early, birds coming late. The data is there, people way more educated
  on these issues than me have tried and are trying to get proper
  legislation government is still procrastinating. I dunno bout you but
  I dont know many in the market for a Bentley at the mo, diplomacy
  and"climate justice" are important but I dont think the framework
  they provide is nearly extensive enough, if they do accomplish
  anything it's on political and not environmental terms and generally
  too late, I would like us to be prepared for the future preferably
  without an organization that will slow progress for political
  reasons, human lives particularly in the third world will be
  sacrificed by inaction on our part and further diversion of attention
  via media etc...
