“A new survey of the scientific community has found near unanimous agreement that human activity causes climate change. Citing the work of more than 29,000 scientists in peer-reviewed journals, the survey’s authors say the consensus on human-caused global warming stands at 97.1 percent. Addressing the efforts by industrial polluters to fund climate skepticism, the study’s lead author, John Cook, said: “There is a gaping chasm between the actual consensus and the public perception.” Democracy nowPossibilities It is known that with sensible and sustainable agriculture, Planet Earth can support our increasing population by farming a smaller land area than presently allocated to agriculture. Organic, Biodynamics and Permaculture all hold vital keys which need to be implemented and we need to do away with monoculture. To achieve environmental harmony, humankind must overcome its self imposed limitations, we must realise our divinity and adopt a policy of harmlessness and just based on a true understanding of divinity What is just? Mankind has never been able to live in harmony with themselves or with nature for any extended period, in part this may be due to ignorance of who he/she is. But justice is a tool of leadership used to justify behaviour that is not necessarily honest or true, or serves the needs of humanity. But rather than get into criticisms about human failure, let us acknowledge that mankind must wake up. Science says we have about 100,000 years before we finally go extinct, or cease to be human due to the rate of increasing infertility.
Metaphysically, the Earth is divinely feminine, the Earth is an alive and sensitive intelligence which give life to all creatures without judgement or discrimination. A manifestation like Kali, she gives and yet for no reason, forces beyond cause localised destruction. Mankind however simply takes and takes without giving back, taking without thought of the consequences, action without responsibility to serve an ego disconnected from it’s source. Disconnection causes a systemic failure within humanity, a failure that allows corporate dominance, a failure that is reducing the education system, a failure that makes life more difficult for the enlightened and an acceleration towards our demise as a species. Solutions The green movement and green politics are a step in the right direction and everyone awakening to the danger must vote green, even though the green movement is a political juvenile. As individuals we must continue to grow into our divinity become more in tune with the nature of the Earth. Many see the Earth and the human species as a lost cause although once humans have become extinct, the Earth will recover and produce new species, the only solution is enlightenment and a spiritual freedom that can find balance within chaos. This enlightenment is something intangible that cannot be described and it calls for our peaceful co-existence as those concerned for life need to all live and pull together in order to survive and resist the rape of the Earth. This means co-operating to overcome the ‘red tape’ that restricts life, like voting for your local council and sharing co-operative housing to reduce living expenses. Green is the New Red  The Journey from Activist to “ECO-Terrorist” By Will Potter
illustrates changes in legislation that effectively denies rights of
consumers to know what they are eating. At a time when everyone is
going green, most people are unaware that the FBI is using
anti-terrorism resources to target environmentalists. Here is a
guided tour into an underground world of radical activism and an
introduction to the shadowy figures behind the headlines. But here
also is the story of how everyday people are prevented from speaking
up for what they believe in. Like the Red Scare, this “Green Scare”
is about fear and intimidation, and Will Potter outlines the
political, legal, and public relations strategies that threaten even
acts of non-violent civil disobedience with the label of
“eco-terrorism.” Learn more and purchase.“The more we want certain situations, the more we find ourself stuck in situations we do not want. Every desire seems to invite its own obstacle. Undesired situations befall us without our looking for them. In fact, the only things that come effortlessly are the things we do not want. No one wants to die, but death comes effortlessly. No one wants to be sick, but sickness comes effortlessly. Because we have taken rebirth without freedom or control, we have an impure body and inhabit an impure environment, and so undesirable things pour in upon us. In samsara, this kind of experience is entirely natural.” Geshe Kelsang Gyatso – “Modern Buddhism” Further reading Cosmology Our universe in time Killing the bird and animal life also kills the forest.
