While Tom Dispatch and Mother Jones prognosticates the details of the struggle to stop the further earth heating burning of fossil fuels, it seems inevitable that people will have to suffer sufficient out of control fires, massive floods, devastating heat increases and corresponding droughts, acidification of environments, poison water supplies, oil spill damaged ecosystems, and smog poisoned air before they'll shout "STOP KILLING US!".

Perhaps the organizers of the August anti fossil fuel march on Washington will think to two prong the effort with a call for clean and sustainable energy research on a national emergency basis, while they have the nation's attention! If we're going to ask to "keep it; (fossil fuel), in the ground", then we need to demand what we want as an alternative. After all, it's all our money, so we should dictate how it's spent! It's our environment, so we should dictate how we want it treated!
