re: The Reality of Climate Change - World Government |

I am going to drop population and food for the time being.
The point in my initial post was unintended consequences, the element that makes me oppose such efforts as COP15 in dealing with global issues like climate change. One of the unintended consequences is the trait exhibited by those in power to become focused on process and focused on a narrow range of acceptable approaches, in effect excluding other approaches or solutions.
Let me give you a metaphor for this. This is not a critique of your intention or its merits.
As network owner, you are the "strong government" of Innovation Network. In this thread, you have established a particular presentation criteria, focusing on the method above the information shared. As such, you are now faced with a greater level of moderation effort which is using up the time resources available to you. You are using threat of force to insure compliance.
The unintended consequences include constraints on how individual members may participate as an Advocate Leader, an Opposition Leader, a Follower, or a Bystander. Meeting the process criteria becomes more important than fulfilling a role that you have identified elsewhere as necessary in your paraphrase of Dr. Peter Senge.
"Senge claims that when all four types of participants are engaged in a discussion, the result is likely to keep the discussion moving towards a useful outcome."
Now this is a small network in the scale of human interactions. You have expressed strong support for open discussion, and have created this network in promotion of innovation. Yet by governance you have created contradiction and constraints and limited the free exchange of ideas and innovations. In effect, you have by exclusion reduced the range.
If someone with your demonstrated values is subject to such unintended consequences, what faith can I have in government leadership that has a global and historical record of abuse of power?
Any member here can of course choose to leave if unhappy with you. None of us will have the option with a global government.
