We need honest cooperation and rational leadership, but we don't have those things. Good leaders wouldn't be doing all this business as usual, they'd be working hard to make everyone realize that change is coming, our previous way of life can't survive, and preparing us to change before we don't have a chance.

Capitalism, consumerism, whatever else --our way of life is not more important than life itself.
