Nah, if you want something done you have to stop looking at security, jobs etc. You have to become honest.

I don't think you can actually, you're only human

It's not oil and gas companies setting the rules here. It's our governments.

Do you understand that one?

And you know what

If they , as we want to tell it to ourselves, really are a representative of you we don't stand a chance.

How's that for a dystopi

And it doesn't matter how much lobbying, advertising and buying representations on your Internet searches, etc they do.

If our governments aren't adapting to them.

Now that should be something for the Guardian to write about, shouldn't it?

That wet dream of becoming a millionaire, better living standards, "lifting up" countries from 'poverty' and old farming practices to our modern industrial practices etc. Relocating Western industries in countries neither able nor understanding what they do to themselves by having no regulations and no control.

And then you investing in it

There's a hidden irony to it. What we've done historically, emission and waste wise, in our first industrialized countries now getting exported to them. With them all too happy getting it.

So you see. The question becomes. Are your governments really representative of you, or not?

You better find out

Also it makes me wonder what use you think those oil and gas blame games will have?

Think it will stop global warming, wars, water and aquifers, deforestation and topsoil deteriorating?

Take a look at Norway, it's not gas and oil, it's its population and government.
