Climate Change is still very, very real
Despite the leaked information this week by a few scientist stiffling dissent and doctoring data, the information that is now public does NOT prove that skeptics were right.
However, when the mainstream media, with corporate sponsors and ownership by large energy conglomorates or stock in the obsolete technology that is continuing to be used and wreck havoc not just on climate but on agriculture, property, maritime safety and physical well being.
Skeptics assume that because this data is now public, they now have proof that climate change caused by humans is a myth, but they are very, very wrong!
Even though there is scandel brewing over climate change brough on by the University of East Anglia, the fact that the leading scientists tried to slience decent and exagerate the truth, there are many other institutions in the world with their own independent research and data to prove that climate change is still very real and does not only threaten the environment but economic interests.
Many climate change skeptics deny the existance of climate change not because of ignorance but because they fear that if action is taken to curb climate change it will mean that government regulation will be imposed to reduce the amount of manufacturing thus driving down profits.
The fact that economic liberalism (often supported by conservative political parties) has already allowed free trade to move manufacturing to countries with lax environmental regulation or to punch exceptions into laws than make existing pollutors to be exempt from new environmental laws has not only contributed to environmental damage but agricultural disaster, economic recession, unemployment, and poverty.
The status quo believes that it is unsulated from these problems because they have the wealth to afford to establish themselves where it will effect them the least. The problem is that despite isolating themselves from the outside world, the outside will always find a way in.
So if skeptics believe that because they have released the quibble of a few scientists trying to cover up dissent that talks in Copenhagen will fail, the skeptics are wrong!
It should be noted that eariler this year, News International was caught hiring hackers to break into private telephone and compuyter systems to dig up private conversations and personal information then used the stollen data to sensationalize it senationalize news in tabloids owned by News International.
News International is the corporation in the United Kingdom controlled by Rupert Murdoch who also owns News Corp (Fox News, The Wall Street Journal, MySpace.com) in the United states as well as News Limited in Australia.
Murdoch’s senationalism and biased news coverage has invoked all sorts of anarchy for all the wrong reasons.
In the United State, Murdoch’s “Fixxed News” has destablized the Republican Party by forcing out moderate, center-right conservative supporters in order to cater to the Republican base and far-right. Because Republicans emphazies the values of ONLY their base while abandoning and expelling everybody else, the Republican party has lost control of the House of Representatives, the Senate, and the 2008 Presidential Election not to metion many state and general elections through out the country.
As if that weren’t enough, the base and the far-right then developed misguided protest in the form of the what is now the T.E.A. Party Movement which has polarized American politics. One of the many things people notice about the T.E.A. Party is that it is composed mostly by white upper class individuals who for nearly the past 25 years (complements of former president Ronald Regan) have gotten away with alot of deregulation that created a barrier between the upper class and the middle class and has constantly pushed the middle class into becoming part of the working poor or into poverty.
With the rise of the Internet, a growing resistance has developed. So much so that in 2008, America elected President Obama through a grass roots campaign and community organization efford.
While the base and the far-right claims it has developed their own “grass roots efforts”, the discovery of who is really part of their grass roots campaigns denotes that they are not grass roots and only used the name “grass roots” as a buzzword which also has liberal activists on the look out for other things like greenwashing, disinformation, and of course counterhacktivism.
The counterhacktivism this week is a sign that conservative base and far-right are desperate to keep the status quo, even as going as far as to make it appear that the real hactivists are throwing their support behind skepticism. Of course, the mainstream media doesn’t know the difference between counterhacktivism and hacktivism. So who takes the credit for revealing this e-mails at East Anglia? The hacktivists.
Don’t be surprise to see more attacks by counterhactivists on issues such as the National Healthcare, Network Neutrality, Alternative Energy, Unionization, and fighting against Telecom Immunity and Factory Farming.
It is up to the hacktivist to fight back against the corporate and neo-conservative counterhacktivists.
This is our world. We have to defend it!
