The greenhouse effect, leading to global warming, is real. The industrialized nations, using fossil fuel, are filling the atmosphere with an increasing layer of carbon dioxide, but efforts at reducing the emissions are blocked by the energy and automotive lobbies. Again, it is only a matter of time before climatic changes will disastrously affect millions of people. Extreme diversity . In addition to environmental problems, we are beset by increasing social problems.

Our society is splintering and polarizing into innumerable racial, ethnic, tribal, national, social, religious, political, and other groups, many of them extreme and in opposition to each other.

With instant communication and world trade we could become one community, a global village, if the common good replaced efforts of separate groups to monopolize our resources.
