I think its more big business that run the world, the government are under pressure from them to do things to keep the economy going. The problem is we ARE to much dependent on fossil fuels. the whole world is based on it, the middle east solely relies on it for there economy also its worth billions of $$$ and where the big bucks are so is the greed and corruption. Its a dangerous predicament to be in we are damed if we do and even more damed if we don't do anything.
alex, I think when we start to run out of fossil fuels is when ww3 will start. By the time we use up all of earths resources I think the earth will be a bad place to live anyway thats if we can survive that long. I would like to see how the world will be in 500 years time from know

I doubt "WE" can do anything now. Perhaps in the future, if social change occurs. At the moment though corporations run the planet, and people silently consume because they believe that the 2 party political structure gives them a choice in the running of the show. Deep inside most people is the feeling that government is corrupt but they believe strongly in the system. While they still believe, that is to say, while the system still gives them a decent standard of living, they will continue to vote and not act.

I agree, the way the planet is divided things will never change for us to move to the next level. The people of Earth will have to be as one, living by the same rules and conditions and reaching for the same goals and I for one cannot see this ever happing. If we are a experiment or a life like game of life by some great alien force, then I think that experiment/game has failed big time
