Are you feeling any of these emotions about climate change or the environment; anger, sadness, anxiety, fear, depression, dread, grief, worry, resignation, or apathy?
There is only a marginal amount of room for optimism as we engage the global warming crisis that is speeding toward us.
We have, at best, a mere 10 years before it will be too late to avoid many of the most serious consequences of this emergency. And, even then we will need a certain amount of luck.
On the following pages of this new article you will find rare instances of good news or other benefits concerning human-caused global warming and its consequent climate destabilization. In this article you will be presented with many important, new and unique climate re-stabilization perspectives, ideas and solutions not currently found or discussed within other climate or environmental organizations.
"The mark of maturity is the ability to hold the tension of opposites." Carl Jung
Two leading Evolutionaries Michael Dowd and Connie Barlow just released a video update & summary of newest data on escalating global warming leading to the climate cliff of irreversible climate destabilization. The new video link (just below,) also contains hard facts from the recently published reports of very conservative organizations like the World bank and the Natural Resource Council.
A rationally compelling environmental ethics is dependent on religion. Ironically, the only way to resolve conundrums regarding science, religion, and morality is to stand environmental ethics on sacred ground. Only when we perceive that the value of the living natural world is grounded in something greater than ourselves, in something other than our human ability to value it, will our rational capacities be satisfied fully that life on earth matters...Even though I consider a religious worldview essential for a compelling environmental ethics -however- most days I am agnostic. Yet I also have deep, effective experiences of the value of people, of our earthly home, of our miraculous kindred relations. These experiences are meaningless in the absence of the sacred, and yet they are as convincing as what I know scientifically. In the final analysis we must choose -either to believe in a fascinating but meaningless universe - or in one congruent with our own experiences of the value of people and place. Choosing is difficult. Yet, I am compelled by my own affective life, my aesthetic preferences, by a few moments in nature that are beyond words, to affirm that it all matters. I am not sure of much, but I am sure of this.Shop Adidas shoes, apparel, and accessories online
