The Amazon burning is a reminder of humanity’s pathological irreverence toward the earth, a self-destructive dysfunction from which we will heal or possibly not even survive as a species. This is more than a climate crisis; it is a survival crisis, and it should be seen as such.
Like all other issues confronting us the climate crisis is a moral crisis. Humanity is at a crossroads: we need to choose between a system that allows greed to run rampant over the survival needs of the species, or a state of consciousness where such a thing would be unthinkable.
Our ability to take in the horror of what is happening environmentally & summon the courage to do something about it will determine the most critical choice in humanity’s history: whether to continue the journey of evolution or through our own selfishness & greed elect to end it.
People talk about humanity destroying the earth...I think she’s been extremely tolerant so far. I believe she’ll shake us all off and go about mending herself; she is a living organism with a robust immune system that in the end will not allow any pathogen to ravish her. Change.
You speak to what we need to realize: that the earth will be fine - she just might need to shake us off for 2 or 3 hundred thousand years while she repairs herself. The issue then is to consider the immeasurable amount of human suffering that would accompany that scenario.#actnow
Pardon me, Marianne, but it appears to me as though we are all "fucked", so to speak. Seems we may be "a day late and a dollar short", as it were.
Nope. It’s the 11th hour but it’s not midnight yet.
You are disingenuous, why are you blaming a climate hoax when these many of these fires are being intentionally set? https://qz.com/1692804/fires-in-the-amazon-rainforests-were-likely-intentional/ …https://amazonwatch.org/news/2019/0821-statement-on-forest-fires-in-the-brazilian-amazon …
The entire environmental crisis is like a fire that has been intentionally set. All the more reason to stop setting the fires, and ask ourselves why we continue to acquiesce to a system that allows it. Greed should no longer be allowed to override the concern for our survival.
May also be more indicative of our pathological irreverence of ourselves. Our self-hatred and lack of self-awareness boils over into everything else.
