greedastrophe


greedastrophe

noun, greed + catastrophe.

1. general, where greed on the part of one party causes a catastrophe to some other party. example: some resource harvester (mining, forestry, fishing) rips-off the putative resource owners without adequate compensation, usually with wider negative effects such as pollution (mining, forestry) and/or resource depletion (all, but especially fishing; no fish no eat.)

2. specific, where the catastrophe referred to is the possible – going most probable – negative effect on our environment, thought to result from ever-increasing co2 build-up in the atmosphere, this co2 build-up in turn being one result of fossil-fuel burning, mature forest clearing etc.

this catastrophe is also referred to as climate change, aka global warming, aka greenhouse-effect.

the term greedastrophe indicates the prime cause of, and major hindrance to effective action against, this co2 build-up, much feared by comp-ssionate realists – and much dismissed by pushed-paradigm apologists, spruikers and/or lying (criminal!) propagandists.

note: greed is -not- good; never was and certainly not now. wo/mankind has made great progress – by cooperating; now our very world is threatened by the greedy acts of a dastardly few. the name of the game is not ‘rip-off your neighbour,’ but enlightened altruism; do no harm.
the greedastrophe may be the greatest crisis ever to be faced, and if not avoided, may be our last crisis.

the greedastrophe is -everyone’s- business: gotta stop it!

avoiding the greedastrophe will require we the people to deploy countervailing power against (venal!) vested interests. in our so-called democracies (us, uk, aus & israel, say) the only lever we possess is our so-called representatives, they must now change to -properly- representing us.
