we have a segment of people in America " mostly Republicans " who oppose environmental regulations . and anyone who doesn't agree with them are labeled tree hugger , Lonnie liberals , hell we all know the kind of labels conservatives and anti global warming activists use . But we are in the middle of a very real crisis that many people are ignoring in the name of profits and big business first and all else last ! we are setting ourselves up for a climate where water is sold to the highest bidder because of shortages and world wide famine because big corporations put profits above the human condition . as an example of this On Dec. 3, 1984, more than 4,000 people died after a cloud of gas escaped from a pesticide plant operated by a Union Carbide subsidiary in Bhopal, India. the people of Hatti are eating mud cakes because of corporate greed and the trade rules we imposed on them when they borrowed money from us . when will we wake up and realize we do not live in a vacuum either in our neighborhoods , towns cities or countries we are all interrelated . we must put aside our differences and fix the damage we have done to planet earth before it reaches the tipping point and we can't fix it !
