Greed and Global Climate Change on a Survival Scale

Today watching my daughter play i think about how much we are so dependent on our planets climate. The northern black hills are known for severe temperature swings. She plays now while the snow is melting and her coat can protect her. However with the front moving in this weekend no one should be outside. Whether climate change is man made or not, if the over all temperature changes annually even by a few degrees my daughter may not be able to get outside. Our biggest obstacle is greed, too many people saw global warming as a chance to make money. The term global climate change however still remains important, and being prepared may mean survival. There are very few structures in my area or around the world that can support human life through very harsh conditions. If we can bypass the greed of money and take a real look at global climate change I think we can all make it. I feel that anything is possible. That we need to be looking in the future to create it, or prevent it. We should also look forward to a new industrial revolution one that uses light as it's primary resource not darkness. Hope not greed will change our lives.
