Global warming and World Economic Collapse

I don't think the world has seen anything like it is experiencing before. One of the problems I think is that there is a lot of electronic money and a lot less real money worldwide. In the past governments had to either mint money from Gold or Platinum or silver or print paper money to represent actual gold and silver in storage like in For Knox. However, with electronic money being most of the actual money on earth now it is sort of like banks have the ability to say for example, the money is electronically here because we say it is. So there is this electronic effect that is now completely surrealistic worldwide with electronic money that doesn't really exist anywhere except in the minds of people and banks. So it is more like an electronic scorecard rather than anything actual at this point.

However, at this point what I believe to be important is making sure people are fed and clothed because if that doesn't happen worldwide electronic monopoly money dollars or whatever won't really mean much of anything.

Be feeding and clothing people and keeping infrastructure alive by repairing roads and bridges and increasing wind and solar power there is actually something real that is helping the people.

All these shenanigans over money won't bring back the 50 trillion dollars lost in the world so far in the last 2 years that went up in smoke. Most of it is gone mostly because of a complete loss of faith in the world economic systems. At this point 100% of the people on earth have no faith in the world economic system to be there for them.

This has changed everything. And because of this and Global Warming there will be less dollars and other monies to deal with storms worldwide, droughts worldwide and flooding worldwide. There will be many more Hurricane Katrinas worldwide as well as formidable droughts of multi year duration and in some places relatively permanent droughts. Of all the damage caused by Global Climate change and Global Warming nothing is as damaging in a long term sense than droughts and high winds in the same place. It brings to mind the Great Dust Bowl of Oklahoma of the 1930s told in the story "Grapes of Wrath".

So, in these times of helping banks and AIG I feel something is missing. What is missing is just feeding and clothing people and growing food wherever one can on earth.

If the people of earth aren't fed and clothed every day all this banking stuff won't matter at all because there might not be any banks or nations. So far people of earth are patient but if this goes on in multi-year fashion and relatives and friends go crazy and die from no food, no jobs, no hope, this could get very ugly.

Most of the world has had it very good for a long time but if you study history it is only because we have had it so good for so long that things are still relatively okay. How long will that last if people have no food, no clothing, no shelter, no hope worldwide?

The U.S. Government recently said that the biggest threat on earth right not is not Islamic Terrorism, it is the present economic crisis worldwide getting out of hand.

Well, I think it just got out of hand in the Sudan, especially Darfur. It is another example of unintended consequences worldwide. I'm very concerned that it is the unintended consequences now that will be the scariest from the decisions made all over earth now.
