"Earlier, I identified what Maurice Strong said was the global problem. “Isn’t the only hope for the planet that the industrialized civilizations collapse? Isn’t it our responsibility to bring that about?”
The question is how do you bring that about? The answer is understood by comparing the industrial nation to a car engine. They both run on fossil fuels. You can stop the engine by stopping the fuel supply. However, if you do that the people will react quickly and negatively – it is politically dangerous. However, you can also stop the engine by plugging the exhaust. Carbon dioxide (CO2) is a major release from fossil fuels. If you show that it is causing global warming, that is destroying the planet, you justify stopping its production and use. This would shut down the industrialized nation."
-- Tim Ball "Human caused global warming"
PS: Maurice Strong was the first chairman of the UN Environment Programme.
