some wishful thinking: we, the united states of america, given all of our wealth, power and influence, in this new era of global cooperation, in the face of daunting challenges, have decided, in the interest of our citizens at home and all people across the world, that we are indeed, leading the way in a binding resolution, signed on the dotted line, that yes, we are ready to remake the energy economies of civilization. petty bickering, utter stupidity, corrupt profit motives, and dishonest fearmongering have been checked at the door, and our beloved president, barack obama, steps out onto the world stage, and whips into order action on such a scale as to call it greatness in motion, a new day dawning, in the nick of time, good news despite the bad news staring us in the face. now, this day, we unite in the cause for true climate justice, paying our climate debts, and setting right the course we all, as a community of nations, will now pursue.

those words still echo in my ear from one year ago today: “change has come to america.”

what kind of change? a new voice of leadership for the new energy economy, ultimately leading to a sustainable future.

those weren’t empty words for me. they were a verbal agreement. obama leads, we the people, tell him where to go. into the future, heads held high, proud to be global citizens, in one ass-kicking hell of a good time. it certainly isn’t every day you decide to remake the world and really mean it. cop15 is such a day.

designers, get to communicating it’s importance. -jk-
