Aforementioned: Aphorisms and questions for 2015

We must wean ourselves from carbon energy, but we won't  soon. Instead let's break the habit of unequal distribution of carbon power/wealth.

It is foolish to imagine that we will suddenly walk away from carbon energy (coal/petroleum/natural gas/methane) as much as that would be the sane thing to do. On the other hand, it is hard to see why we continue to put up with the hoarding of carbon wealth and power. The prospects for short-term personal gain are so great that the hoarders of carbon wealth and power cannot stop themselves from devastatingly unethical behaviour which can only lead to deadly consequences for the biosphere.
