I favor a form of cosmopolitanism that takes nations very seriously, particularly because of the role of national law in sustaining or, unfortunately, undermining human rights. Some cosmopolitans take the metaphor of global citizenship - the etymology of the word, after all, just comes from a Greek phrase meaning citizen of the world - to rule out taking national citizenship seriously.

Their one apparent purpose, pursued with a relentless and furious diligence, is to convert the assumption into a fact.

Global warming is a justice issue. It's a justice issue because global warming is theft - theft from our own children and grand children, of their right to a livable future.

The only quote/unquote "evidence" of global warming is what models are predicting the climate and the weather will be in the next 50 to 100 years.

It is not static. It is a process. It is the process by which democratic civilizations build themselves.
