Comments on: Are We Failing to Observe the Real Issues? http://www.talkclimatechange.com/2008/03/26/failing-to-observe-the-real-issues/ The Blog that Talks about Climate Change Sun, 18 May 2008 03:08:27 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.3.2 By: Blue Team - Daryl http://www.talkclimatechange.com/2008/03/26/failing-to-observe-the-real-issues/#comment-801 Blue Team - Daryl Fri, 28 Mar 2008 17:19:09 +0000 http://www.talkclimatechange.com/2008/03/26/failing-to-observe-the-real-issues/#comment-801 I agree Matt, we are really stuck in a rut when it comes to this subject. There are so many things that are immediate that have basically usurped by the GCC issue, like World Water Day and the World Food Programme problems. I do not understand how we can seem to rally around the climate issue and mitigation when we could actually do some good for dying people today, not some boogeyman of change in the future. We have been fighting hunger and santitation and water issues for years, with unexceptable progress. Yet GCC gets money and attention and you cannot even put a real measurable metric on it. People dying is a good measure of need and one to start with. I agree Matt, we are really stuck in a rut when it comes to this subject.
