I guess I'm day-dreaming. I'm afraid that you're right. However convincing some material can be, most of the time it won't change anything in one's frame of mind. Most of us have to be directly concerned, in a very direct kind of way, to change. Unfortunatly, when we will be facing all those threats, it will be too late. Like a life-long smoker learning he has cancer. We will all be in trouble. Thanks, what kind of world it would be if we all started to fight together for that blue light, as a global family?

I hope that "little blue light" doesn't just pop out. Preserving it, our our part in it, it will take extensive cultural change, but as some of those in the video suggest, just maybe it's possible. Very good video too. Its message should concern people terribly, should frighten them, but I suppose many will watch it, shrug their shoulders, and go on about their lives. Denial is strong. Still, I think I may post the same video on my blog. I wonder if the specter of mass extinction might have more power to break through some of that denial than other aspects of our ecological crisis.
