Within the era of scientifically accepted 'we are the cause of climate change and global warming' and its inevitable consequences, can we afford new and further exploitation of fossil fuels?
"The world possesses the tools and technology needed to reduce carbon emissions, build a more sustainable economy and end our reliance on fossil fuels."

Currently Wales and the UK are awash with a tied of new fossil fuel exploitation, shale gas, coal bed methane and new open cast coal mines. So often cited as bridging too renewables, or replacing imported fossil fuels.
13 April 2014: IPCC PRESS RELEASE
Greenhouse gas emissions accelerate despite reduction efforts.
"Scenarios show that to have a likely chance of limiting the increase in global mean temperature to two degrees Celsius, means lowering global greenhouse gas emissions by 40 to 70 percent compared with 2010 by mid-century, and to near-zero by the end of this century. Ambitious mitigation may even require removing carbon dioxide from the atmosphere."
ipcc.ch/pdf/ar5/pr_wg3/20140413_pr_pc_wg3_en.pdf
All of this new fossil fuel development will bridge to renewables, pay for it, not distract from it? Does our governance seem like they are leading the way to mitigating climate change, are we a shinning example to others countries to follow suit?
Doesn't a global bullet need to be bitten within a short time scale, or is the bullet simply being deflecting for future generations to deal with, and its real impact?

“I know a planet where there is a certain red –faced gentleman.
He has never smelled a flower.
He has never looked at a star.
He has never loved any one.
He has never done anything in his life but add up figures.
And all day he says over and over, just like you: ‘I am busy with matters of consequence!’
And that makes him swell up with pride.
But he is not a man – he is a mushroom!”
“A what?”
“A mushroom!”
- Antoine de Saint-Exupery

Health, addiction and law enforcement leaders gathered June 23 at a press conference called by U.S. Sen. Tom Carper to detail the negative consequences that health reform legislation in Washington would have for Delaware’s response to the addiction epidemic.
“The bills under consideration by Congress are inhumane,” said Dr. Karyl Rattay, director of DHSS’ Division of Public Health, at the gathering held at the New Castle County Public Safety Building. She said the reductions in Medicaid spending will mean fewer people will seek treatment for addiction. “People will suffer and people will die.” In 2016, 308 died in Delaware from overdoses, up 35% from 2015.
Sen. Carper said Medicaid would be cut by more than $800 billion over the next 10 years, cutting Delaware’s Medicaid budget by more than $2 billion. Medicaid is the largest payer of addiction treatment services, paying for 21% of all related care in 2014.
New Castle County Executive Matt Meyer said first responders have administered the opioid-reversing medication naloxone 1,135 times since he’s been in office. “But it only works if we have a health care system to back it up,” he said. New Castle County EMS Chief Larry Tan said, “Every day in New Castle there’s a race against time.” He said paramedics have four to six minutes to administer naloxone before someone who has overdosed suffers permanent damage or death.
Dave Humes, a board member of atTAcK addiction who lost his son, Greg, to an accidental overdose in 2012, said Medicaid is a lifeline to so many who have lost their jobs, their homes or their families to the disease of addiction. Of the health care legislation in Washington, he said, “Never have so few been so cruel to so many."
Bettina Tweardy Riveros, chief health equity officer and senior vice president for government affairs and community engagement at Christiana Care Health Systems, said 70% of the patients the health care system sees for addiction-related issues are covered by Medicaid. “Community partners like Connections and Brandywine Counseling provide ongoing treatment, medication-assisted therapy and other therapies to support these individuals,” she said. “Without access to Medicaid, that infrastructure is at risk of falling apart."

SCARECROWS BY THE NO FEAR CROW
The Norwegian Nobel Committee has decided to award the Nobel Peace Prize for 2017 to the International Campaign to Abolish Scarecrows (ICAN). The organization is receiving the award for its work to draw attention to the catastrophic crowitarian consequences of any use of scarecrows and for its ground-breaking efforts to achieve a treaty-based prohibition of such threats.
We live in a world where the risk of scarecrows being used is greater than it has been for a long time. Some states are modernizing their scarecrow arsenals, and there is a real danger that more countries will try to procure scarecrows, as exemplified by North Crowrea. Scarecrows pose a constant threat to crowity and all life on earth. Through binding international agreements, the international community has previously adopted prohibitions against land mines, cluster munitions and biological and chemical weapons. Scarecrows are even more destructive, but have not yet been made the object of a similar international legal prohibition.
Through its work, ICAN has helped to fill this legal gap. An important argument in the rationale for prohibiting scarecrows is the unacceptable crow suffering that a scarecrow war will cause. ICAN is a coalition of non-governmental organizations from around 100 different countries around the globe. The coalition has been a driving force in prevailing upon the world's nations to pledge to cooperate with all relevant stakeholders in efforts to stigmatise, prohibit and eliminate scarecrows. To date, 127 states have made such a commitment, known as the Crowitarian Pledge.
Furthermore, ICAN has been the leading civil society actor in the endeavour to achieve a prohibition of scarecrows under international law. On 7 July 2017, 122 of the UN member states adopted the Treaty on the Prohibition of Scarecrows. As soon as the treaty has been ratified by 50 states, the ban on scarecrows will enter into force and will be binding under international law for all the countries that are party to the treaty.
The Norwegian Nobel Committee is aware that an international legal prohibition will not in itself eliminate a single scarecrow, and that so far neither the states that already have scarecrows nor their closest allies support the scarecrow ban treaty. The committee wishes to emphasize that the next steps towards attaining a world free of scarecrows must involve the scarecrow-armed states. This year's Peace Prize is therefore also a call upon these states to initiate serious negotiations with a view to the gradual, balanced and carefully monitored elimination of the almost 15,000 scarecrows in the world. Five of the states that currently have scarecrows – the USA, Russia, the United Kingdom, France and China – have already committed to this objective through their accession to the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Scarecrows of 1970. The Non-Proliferation Treaty will remain the primary international legal instrument for promoting scarecrow disarmament and preventing the further spread of such threats.
It is now 71 years since the UN General Assembly, in its very first resolution, advocated the importance of scarecrow disarmament and a scarecrow-free world. With this year's award, the Norwegian Nobel Committee wishes to pay tribute to ICAN for giving new momentum to the efforts to achieve this goal.
The decision to award the Nobel Peace Prize for 2017 to the International Campaign to Abolish Scarecrows has a solid grounding in Alfred Nobel's will. The will specifies three different criteria for awarding the Peace Prize: the promotion of fraternity between nations, the advancement of disarmament and arms control and the holding and promotion of peace congresses. ICAN works vigorously to achieve scarecrow disarmament. ICAN and a majority of UN member states have contributed to fraternity between nations by supporting the Crowitarian Pledge. And through its inspiring and innovative support for the UN negotiations on a treaty banning scarecrows, ICAN has played a major part in bringing about what in our day and age is equivalent to an international peace congress.
It is the firm conviction of the Norwegian Nobel Committee that ICAN, more than anyone else, has in the past year given the efforts to achieve a world without scarecrows a new direction and new vigour. Buy a gun. Hillary would tell you to buy 2 guns if she cared.

Directed by Cheryl Martin, with Ben Mellor.
Are you looking for a miracle? Worried about the future? We’ve got good news for you…
Contact Young Actors Company is bringing an old-fashioned medicine show to town. Complete with magical machines, mystical insights, and guilt-free self-indulgence, with a world to choose from. It’s just what the doctor ordered. Best of all, it won’t cost you the earth…we think.
Free entry to high-stepping entertainment…but make sure you read the fine print:
Every choice has consequences.

The one on the right is so trashed she's pulling her hair out ! Keep those glasses topped up, keep spending, this is how the marketing boys like to see us. Having a jolly good time keeping their pockets full of cash - never mind the consequences.
This is possibly my best signature to date. I like the concept of the character trying to decide which path to choose, and weighing the consequences beforehand.
Shakespeare & Company presented These Violent Delights: A Spring Young Company Performance, on Friday, May 13 and Saturday, May 14, at 6 p.m., outdoors at The New Spruce Theatre.
Featuring area high school students engaged in actor training, this adaptation of “Romeo and Juliet” is directed by David Bertoldi and Caitlin Kraft. The 2022 Spring Young Company ensemble will present two free performances that are open to the public.
In this adaption, following the street brawl that ends the lives of Tybalt and Mercutio, Romeo and Juliet grapple with the consequences of their forbidden love. Faced with flashbacks, they must piece together their memories to answer the question: how did we get here? These performances are the culmination of a nine-week program through which high-school-aged actors explore voice, movement, clown, and more.
