Do you like to breathe? Would you rather not be poisoned by your drinking water? Will your great-grandchildren still be able to see the Sun?
Humans are amazing! Give them a world to play in and they’ll work as hard as they can to make it unliveable…
Some recent news clips:
From The New York Times:: Amid a Hopeful Mood, U.N. Talks Set Countries on Path Toward a Global Climate Treaty
From The Daily Telegraph, UK: Climate summit ends in acrimony
From OneWorld.Net: Activists Demand ‘Change’ at Climate Conference
From BBC News: Australians condemn climate plan
O.K., so the Big-Rollers are worried because they’re having problems continuing to milk the moderately-affluent. The poor are getting poorer. Human slaughter is rampant. Corruption is eating us alive…
So, imagine all those problems are resolved to everybody’s satisfaction—I know, it would take a huge change of a massive number of hearts but just imagine it:
Rich and poor are equalizing their holdings, no one is murdering thousands, and politicians are learning trustworthiness…
And… most of us are dying from the backlash of a ferociously mad Mother Earth…
Here’s some sobering information ( from GreenFacts ):
What are the likely consequences of climate change?
- Has climate change already started to affect us?
- How potentially could climate change affect us?
- What other major impacts could climate change possibly have?
- What should be done?
And, some fascinating videos about how bad it really is…
Spiritual Quote :
“A little over a hundred years ago, in a series of letters to the world leaders of the day, Bahá’u’lláh spoke of humankind as entering on a period of history that would entail the radical restructuring of the life of the planet. Challenges never before contemplated would, He said, soon overwhelm the resources of even the most advanced nations. They could be addressed only by a world federal system whose central organ would be a representative world parliament empowered to create a code of universally agreed upon and enforceable international law. ‘The earth is but one country,’ Bahá’u’lláh asserted, ‘and mankind its citizens’.
“As the magnitude, complexity, and urgency of environmental problems have gradually forced themselves on public attention, the logic of this prescription has become daily more apparent. The available international legislative machinery and processes are proving inadequate, primarily because they are based on laws governing nation-states. To the Bahá’í International Community it seems clear that, unless creative new steps in the restructuring of the international order can be taken, environmental degradation alone, and its long-term implications for social and economic development, will lead inexorably to a disaster of appalling dimension.”
Bahá’í International Community, 1991 Aug 13, International Legislation for Environment Development
