If only - IF ONLY - the energy, efforts and goodwill of those 6000 could now be harnessed into a unified action group with executive power, THEN we might begin (as Adam says) to ... "get our arms around the seriousness and urgency of our frying planet and communicate it"; but not just communicate it, ACT ON IT. Adam goes on, "we have to face what global warming actually means in our lives, the changes it will bring whether we want them or not, and what we have to do to change course, now." It takes a concerted effort to bring about change on the necessary scale. 6 thousand is not as many as the multiple 6 millions it wants but is better than 6 (the latter representing a local group with one Helpful Project). With determination to act cooperatively, and a first-stage target the creation of Communities of Action, we can start to get some of the relatively important fractions of the world to embrace the degree of changes that will be better made sooner before they are forced on them later.
