(1:11) " .. nobody knows exactly when a tipping point appears .. "

exacly. compare:

" One of the most serious consequences of our actions is global warming brought about by rising levels of carbon dioxide from the burning of fossil fuels. The danger is that the temperature increase might become self-sustaining IF IT HAS NOT DONE SO ALREADY. " -- Stephen Hawking in "The 11th Hour" (2007)

These types of movements have a better chance of success if the typecast activists stay in the shadows and allow a more acceptable personality to handle the public speaking. Most people will never follow the 2 "leaders" depicted in this clip. Do they grow these activists on a tree somewhere? If these people want to succeed they had better start hiring pr firms.

hughmillen,

I believe you have actually hit on part of the US's problem with not caring about the rest of the world when you stated that "Most people will never follow the 2 leaders depicted ...." Your comment is restricted to an American context. Most people in the world already follow those 2 leaders. These 2 leaders are just not accurately portrayed in the US only and is the reason why they are misunderstood in the US but not outside of the US.

Exactly. Most Americans are terribly ignorant about the rest of the world and any kind of world perspective.

hugh,

The US population has immorally internalized the evil values of Neoliberalism thus the disdain for leaders presenting human value systems like Noam's

Thank You Noam and Terry for supporting 350!

Here are three of the greatest thinkers of our time fighting for something that should be common sense, but this issue is so clouded with vested interest' monies that many tune out because of the confusion cast.

Thanks for providing clarity on this issue.
