The most underreported story of the past year – the mass media has chosen to replace Paris Hilton with Julian Assange as the major distraction -- is dramatic global climate change, the factors responsible and the huge negative social consequences that will result from the extreme weather conditions.

Parts of the world are experiencing unprecedented climate change, from extreme cold, heat, wild fires to flooding, however, very little material has been reported that relates to the causes and long term consequences of the severe weather events we are experiencing TODAY.

Again, the only good source of information is the INDEPENDENT media, as those responsible for climate-impacting pollution belong to the same Corporatist fraternity as the mass media. Make no mistake, 99.99% of the pollution and other factors affecting OUR climate are the result of CORPORATE ENVIRONMENTAL VANDALISM; the principal offenders are of course the mining, chemical, oil and associated companies.

Corporations and the Corporatists that run them – one cannot be separated from the other -- share the same perverse ideology, PROFIT at ANY COST!

Fresh from their OIL wars in Central Asia/Iraq that cost over ONE MILLION INNOCENT CIVILIAN LIVES, Oil and associated Companies used the same ‘high quality’ procedures to DEVASTATE the Gulf of Mexico – it’s CHEAPER to DESTROY and BRIBE than follow proper procedures and implement REAL safety measures. The MASSIVE BP oil spill and the TOXIC chemical dispersant utilised as a ‘quick fix’ changed the THERMAL DYNAMIC of the Gulf Stream ocean current; not only are the people of the USA affected but Northern Europeans are also paying the price for CORPORATE ENVIRONMENTAL VANDALISM.

Should anyone be surprised that the CORPORATE MASS MEDIA has failed to follow-up climate change stories and do in-depth analyses?

The chilling factor for the British Isles and other Northern European nations is the negative impact on the disrupted Gulf Stream Ocean current, which traditionally warmed regions that would otherwise be as frigid as Canada or Siberia, as they lie in the same latitudes.

An indicator of the social cost of criminal Corporate Vandalism is the winter civilian death toll in the British Isles. PRIOR to the current ‘big chill,’ deaths resulting from cold and lack of fuel fluctuated between (a disgraceful) 30 to 40 thousand per year – imagine the cost and social devastation of PERMANENT FRIGID conditions, similar to Canada or Siberia for a nation completely unprepared for those conditions! If the ‘capability’ of present day politicians is any indicator, the mind boggles! However, I can assure you of this, Corporatists will ensure they PROFIT (heating etc) from the negative situation THEY created.
