What If All Humanity Had To Do To Save Itself Was Listen?

By working together, and learning from one another, we can build better systems.

- Many of the things that we experience, are our imagination manifesting into this physical realm, avers artist Dustin Yellin.

- People need to completely rethink the way they work together, and learn from one another, so that we can build better systems. If not, things may get "really dark" soon.

- The first step to enabling cooperation is figuring out where the common ground is. Through this method, despite contrary beliefs, we may be able to find some degree of peace.

by Kathryn Harrison et al
0262514311Comparative case studies and analyses of the influence of domestic politics on countries' climate change policies and Kyoto ratification decisions. Climate change represents a “tragedy of the commons” on a global scale, requiring the cooperation of nations that do not necessarily put the Earth's well-being above their own national interests. And yet international efforts to address global warming have met with some success; the Kyoto Protocol, in which industrialized countries committed to reducing their collective emissions, took effect in 2005 (although without the participation of the United States).
