Here in Shepparton we
have a head of the local council’s environment and sustainability committee
who equates the resolution of those issues with the elimination of septic
tanks.
On a somewhat larger scale Australia’s PM considers climate
change “crap” and now American Republicans have chosen a climate skeptic to
head its environment subcommittee.
It’s bizarre: humanity faces its most pressing problem ever
for which solutions will need to be innovative, new, courageous and devoid of
any trace of the status quo and yet we appear to continually retreat to the ideas
and processes that landed us in this present mess.
That process turns thoughts to what Albert Einstein once
said: “The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again
and expecting different results”.
Considering that, it is interesting to note in a Huffington
Post story headed: “House Republicans pick climate skeptic to head environment subcommittee”,
that such insanity is at work again.
