If COP 26 (in the UK in October/November) follows the same pattern as the previous 25 such meetings, the biggest achievement will be the group photo! 25 years they've been meeting to discuss climate change - and we are still doomed. Why?
This is not a rhetorical question. It needn't be so. Technologically speaking, we could solve climate change - and if we'd started 25 years ago with that aim in mind, we'd be on top of it by now. However, IMO - because the right have stuck their head in the sand on climate change, the narrative has been dominated by left wing thought, based in Malthusian pessimism and limits to resources, feeding into anti-capitalist politics, and as a consequence - it seems, the idea of solving climate change has never even been considered. Every measure assumes we must back down, tax this, stop that, have less and pay more. This is absolutely the wrong approach.
The Malthusian prophecy of mass starvation, resulting from the disparity between geometric population growth and arithmetic agricultural development, was overcome through the development of new technologies - tractors and fertilizers. Food production has outpaced population growth through the application of technology. Technology multiplies resources - so how can there be a limit to resources? Apply the right technologies, and there is no inherent limit.
The earth is a big ball of molten rock - containing a virtually limitless amount of energy. If we harnessed that energy, we could extract carbon from the atmosphere and sequester it, produce limitless amounts of clean electricity, hydrogen fuel, desalinate water to irrigate land, recycle - it's not that complicated. Technologically, we could solve climate change. Why haven't we?
Come on, you know the answer to this!
Humans first and foremost fear death, thus they are selfish in their want to survive. They are largely lazy, believing that ease of physical activity, like not hunting and gathering, will extend their lives. Humans have been so far removed from their reality in nature, due to the promise of money, the so called ease of living, that they can't see the forest for the trees, lazy, they don't want to.
They have forgotten how to tighten their belts, only ever to loosen them. Fat, dumb and lazy, humans are in fact the stupidest animals on the planet. They are continually cutting off their nose to spite their face. And they never learn, look how long they've been fighting one another, for fears, (you name them), since the stone age to the nuclear age, always bigger weapons to assure their life over another's death, that thing they fear.
Becoming that thing they fear most, a totally self defeating measure, quite insane, yet a lesson in disguise, though they're too blind by selfishness to see. And they keep popping babies out like rabbits, to teach them the same old tired self defeatist bullshit, Selfishness, Greed, Money!
If we only came completely together, none of this bullshit would be the case, working together like a team, humans would be unstoppable, and brilliant, not that it'd be easy. Rules and laws would have to be obeyed as they are certainly based upon facts, the truth of things. No one can have freedom of life if they're dead. Only obeying the earths laws, physics, ecosystems, stewardship, BALANCE can we rise and shine becoming that ultimate example of true animal wisdom as it pertains to this planets finiteness.
The Spheres (of influence) must Balance. And that takes all earths inhabitants to work together as a team. This nationalism bullshit is a step backwards towards the earliest of tribalism. With our current nuclear arsenal it can only lead to nuclear annihilation. A wiser more all inclusive understanding of life on planet earth absolutely must be observed, if we are to dig ourselves out of this selfish devise created by the greed of the glittering prize.
Largely, the Humans in charge are fucking stupid backwards fucks that have their heads up their asses. For them, the glittering prize is always more important than the lives of "others",
no not them, as they are the wise ones, NOT! These fuckers should be put in cages where they belong, as the lowest life forms that they present.
ALL LIVES MATTER EQUALLY! Humans should only ever speak ALL INCLUSIVELY, else they DIVIDE. FOOLS THEM ALL! Apparently Unknowingly the Harbingers of their own twisted Device. If only they would automatically fall from all their twisted ideas, so poetic justice would prevail. Unfortunately it's not that easy.
But in the light of a democracy, where truth(facts) prevail, we can insure those type lunatics never rise or maintain power. In cages they belong. All humans on planet Earth are in fact one! History dictates knowledge, illuminating past errors!
The brightest light must always shine on truth(facts).
Philosophy - The FATHER of all Science!!!
If science doesn't lead the way, we're all lost in ignorance!
