Disassociation and denial of global warming are going on..
In one part of Canada it's great guns ahead on tar-sand mining while in another region ice shelves are fast disappearing as though the burning and mining of tar sands is disassociated from the melting..
Like when Ken Salazar the US Interior Secretary said the plight of polar bears having the ice melted out from under them in their hunting grounds was disassociated with the burning of fossil fuels in other parts of country.
The whole corporate thing is about disassociating consequence or liability of industry from personal wealth.. The whole purpose of insurance, of futures and derivatives won't be able to hide what's really going on for long.

perhaps the most effective tool in the climate struggle - considering the severity of the circumstances and the ineffectiveness of gov - is directed economic systems disruption of the fossil fuel industry. virtually every destructive industry relies on stable, affordable flows of fossil fuels. as the MEND as demonstrated in Nigeria oil companies will sell their assets and vacate when their profits are cut by attacks on unguarded pipelines and infrastructure.

we exist in a world dominated by a market based morality that is defended by powerful states. any activity that makes large amounts of money for the state or the industrial economy is deemed "good" regardless of its effect on the rest of the world.

disrupt the ability of industries to profit from destructive activities.

PARTIAL vs. COMPLETE SYSTEM DISRUPTION
