Climate change only beginning, Colton man says

To the Editor:

It's my belief that Climate is only the tip of an iceberg .

Global industrialization is a monster. It's uncontrollable, it stalks the living green planet.  

Trillions of dollars are driving this. My background in natural resources is telling me that the west will not be outdone by China's trillion dollar development program. 

Another massive wave of global industrialization is about to hit the Earth. I'm not trying to be dramatic here.

Why can't people see that the eco crises go much much deeper than just the fossil fuel problem? Construction of infrastructure, mining: these industries are based on the use of heavy equipment like bulldozers, excavators, and railroad locomotives.

Heavy equipment isn't run on electricity, it’s diesel powered. Global industrialization means more pollution, more overuse of limited natural resources. More habitat destruction and harm to our fellow living things. 

If we can't stop the monster of global industrialization. Climate’s worsening and worsening will be just one crisis numbered amongst many eco crises.
