From The Thom Hartmann Reader:
"Thom is a national treasure. Read him, embrace him, learn from him, and follow him as we all work for social change."
—Robert Greenwald, political activist and founder and president of Brave New Films
From Screwed:
"If we are going to live in a Democracy, we need to have a healthy middle class. Thom Hartmann shows us how the ‘cons’ have wronged this country, and tells us what needs to be done to reclaim what it is to be American."
—Eric Utne, Founder, Utne magazine
From The Thom Hartmann Reader:
"Through compelling personal stories, Hartmann presents a dramatic and deeply disturbing picture of humans as a profoundly troubled species. Hope lies in his inspiring vision of our enormous unrealized potential and his description of the path to its realization."
—David Korten, author of Agenda for a New Economy, The Great Turning, and When Corporations Rule the World

Sadly, the tipping point is only visible in the rear view mirror. We don't, in our gut, understand nonlinear systems. Smart but not smart enough. But thank you for playing, "Homo Sapiens Rule the World."
It seems that communication could solve this problem. The people in Alaska have seen enough that if they could express themselves on MSM we all would feel it in our gut. Once again it is billionaires in action. The fossil fuel billionaires paying the media billionaires.
As a retired earth scientist specialized in past climates I hear too much optimism for a correction of our present course, as we sail through the point of no return. We are curently witnessing the end of capatism and demise of civilisation as we've known, all this in the name of greed.
Man's destiny is to drown in his own feces.
MissQuote from Chief Seattle
What is a tipping point? Consider the Larsen B ice shelf. Prior to a collapse of a section 200+ meters in depth, the area of Rhode Island in 2002, scientists had been studying the destabilization and expected it's collapse would take decades; tipping point reached, it took a little more than 30 days!
