For as bad as it is — it will only get worse.

Or will it?

Well — that depends on You.

Let’s start with good questions :

What’s happening on the Planet?

A Planet is heating and changing to a point where the current inhabitants can no longer exist in the environment they have created on it. They have destroyed the habitat that sustained them.

Can anything be done about it?

Yes and No.

we have crossed tipping points and the unwinding of these patterns are irreversible.

To a very large extent it really doesn’t matter who is in power — what is done is done, what is to be is coming.

If we can’t stop it, What’s the point to anything?

This is the real question that we must each answer.

Upper-class Beliefs:

*Some of upper classes want to use the lower classes like a pillow on the bum of someone falling to their death off a cliff.

They believe that with enough technology and enough death in the global population- they can stay on top. It won’t work — they and just about everyone else turns their heads away when confronted with the Aerosol Masking effect. ( you need to look this up for yourself, if i post a link you wouldn’t click anyway)

* Others of the upper-class are all in on the “cling to the hedonism and status we have at all cost” as the ship goes down. If that means Fascism for the poor — so be it.

There are some in the upper class who believe we are all in this together — they are being forced out.

Religious beliefs

* God is testing us — belief will save you. Or Trust in the Lord, god or other mythic apparition.

One great flaw here is “ what does God want you to do?” Once you see the upper class influence on religion…what are religious beliefs when they are controlled by avarice and greed of the upper classes? Jordan Peterson is just one example.

General Beliefs

* People have been saying this for years and I’m, still alive — can’t really be true

* humans are born with intelligence — we will “solve” this

* If I do _____ it will stop the events that are unfolding and we can go BACK to a better healthier planet

These lines of thinking are what is best described as “denial”

They make it tolerable and easy to go along with upper class nonsense. Things like the IPCC which was set up to prevent people from stopping the upper class to continue massive resource exploitation and environmental destruction in the pursuit of bright shiny objects.

The Structure of the IPCC has always been such that it allows for dissent on habitat destruction that goes nowhere.

Here’s the Bottom Line

You are going to die from climate change and the related interactions that go with it.

Climate Change has predicted crop failure — heat related death — destruction of habitat — increases in infectious disease … etc… water wars — food wars …. etc … etc…

The best we can do as a humanity is to engage in hospice for each other.

If you can come down to reality and understand and accept that this is where things are — you can understand that this is a crisis.

that is very very very important.

People can change in the face of crisis — they can come together.

that my friends is a scientific fact.

it can go the other way as well — also a fact

YOU

make the difference

It seems that maybe we really were made to be our brother and sister’s keeper, and that opportunity awakens part of our humanity that feels more like a blessing than a burden. Can you believe it? https://den.mercer.edu/communities-come-together-in-times-of-crisis-but-why-not-before-dr-craig-mcmahan/

Historical and psychological research suggests that in collective crises, people are generally inspired to act with compassion, not selfishness. https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/blog/a-shared-existence/202209/how-disaster-can-inspire-human-connection

Disaster collectivism creates a sense of solidarity and cooperation among humans who demonstrate a remarkable willingness to help one another https://sparks.learning.asu.edu/videos/crisis-bonding-human-cooperation-in-disasters

go down the google rabbit hole today — look up crisis studies.

Maybe we could get to a place where we agree that We — all of us — are at crisis?

And “WE” are not there yet but:

every we is made up of a whole lot of yous
