Does anyone else hate it when you are lumped into the category of “you people” or “you Americans?” Traveling the news yesterday, I came across the article (about half an hour after it was published) where that exact thing happened…again…
‘No global climate accord without US backing’ by AFP
Check out this comment from the Danish minister for climate and energy….
She called for “the Americans to understand that their position as a world power in dealing with major global problems is at stake.”
While I like the fact global leaders are finally (although it is looking planned) acknowledging Global Warming/Global Climate Change, I don’t think it is very fare to say, “Americans” on the whole – don’t know what the stakes are – to address the major shift happening.
Question to the World leaders – Do you rely on your own navigation of the web or do you get your admin to take a look around? If you are getting your admin to look around, are the reports saying that all Americans are still daft when it comes to the Global event of the ages?
Go on to the forums or review other blogs, and you will see that it is not the “Americans” that have a problem with change. (Heck, we elected a black President – a historic moment – that a lot of people capitalized on I might add. And no, I don‘t care if the man/woman is purple, just do the job right, honestly, and fair.) There are way too many people who recognize that the environment is dying and has been dying, by the “Americans” in a position of power.
When the history of the American environment is reviewed, it has been the people that get well, the shaft. Our illnesses and sicknesses comes from the contamination AND we know it. We just can’t get good people into office that haven’t served oodles of terms, and have no underlining motive for money. (Besides, should you want more proof, there are plenty of lawsuits brought by the people to find out what has made them sick. Power plants polluting water, dumping of waste…you name it. So we, Americans, know. We, Americans, know all too well.)
Now, if the lone comment is not directed to every American, then I apologize; however, I would very much like to know exactly what is meant by that. Are we, Americans, being threatened? (In some fashion other than our economy being tanked??)
See, Americans realize that the actions of the United States are suppose to represent them. If people of the globe are just lumping things into this and that pot, then no resolution will be found. That tipping point (the words every one loves to throw around now) is on our – the global communities door step. Period.
(Yes, I am aware that there is a small percentage (globally) that do not believe the Global event is happening right here and right now. Personally, having just used observations, old news clippings, research from books, read many different papers, and being average – there is a heck of a lot more happening then what is being said and quoted in the news.)
Again, Americans don’t wait to address any problem. In most cases, peaceful and quiet actions are taken to prepare or otherwise warn their town. Most Americans realize that “help” will not come in the event of a huge natural disaster. If it does, then every one remembers Katrina, and prepares themselves.
So, global population – every blogger, mother, person, and thing that lives on this rock – why are we waiting for the administrations of the World to FINALLY work together?
I don’t think they have been learning one thing about the net and the value of it. We, the people of the net, have been trading ideas (back and forth) on how to live green, be green, and be environmentally friendly. Tips. Tricks. Cheap things. All of it.
We established the communication between each other and started the green movement. I think it is time our Global leaders catch up to us – the people. We learned how to not answer an email or communication, and just moved on without causing a dang war.
What is the underlining cause of the discord? Why do Americans, not their politicians who have (in most cases) gone rouge (bought off), have to suffer the lumping of “you Americans?” I don’t get it, but I’m sure one of these days the stack of cards will crash and then the world will get it. Okay, again, it will be the people that do. Seems to always happen. Ha! Who got the short straw????
