Climate change explained. Climate Change. The following is an excerpt from Jan-6-2013 when Anthony Leiserowitz was talking with Bill Moyers about a Global Warming Gallup world poll, the first every scientific quality survey conducted in 130-plus countries around the world.
ANTHONY LEISEROWITZ: "... It's a remarkable scientific achievement. Existence: Earth Crisis. "The next ten years may be as important as the next ten thousand.
" - Sylvia Earle, Ocean Scientist, on TED Talks. Most of us don't want nature to be destroyed, and probably don't really understand what is causing it, or that opportunities to have this understanding are being systematically diminished. As the physical-commodity based assets of oil, precious metals, forests, soils and fresh water dwindle, inevitably the social costs of exploitation and unregulated pollution are becoming apparent. Not abstractly, but in real ways problems loom as ever larger populations are oppressed by famine, poverty and taxation, increasingly extreme climatic conditions and mutual conflict.

It will take a long time to recover from what’s been happening in Washington. But we now know the insurrection against the rule of law didn’t happen spontaneously. Karen Hudes - World Bank Problems. Faiing Empire. Crash Course Ecology. An Inconvenient Truth. The New Age. During the Ice Age humans had been nomadic, following the animal herds that lived on the lush vegetation at the melting edges of glaciers.
The run off water formed rivers and fertile deltas where humans learned to plant food crops, and build homes. This was the beginning of architecture, not just homes but granaries and municipal and religious buildings, roads, and cities. Stored food had to be protected so a hierarchy evolved of protectors and administrators. A portion of the population was given power to govern and decide not only what would be allowed/disallowed, but who would own what. So that paradigm began with ownership, but as it grew and was politicized it gradually led to militarization, colonization, and exploitation of all sorts.

The answer is not really complicated, but it has several parts: • There are more people. • Resources such as food and fuel have not increased as much as population. • The gap between the “haves and have-nots” is wide and accelerating. • More and more people feel exploited by the new “world economy.” • The old economies were wasteful and exploited natural resources. • Stress and anxiety have increased along with the complexity of daily life. • The media panders to the box-office, i.e. the sensational and the violent. The solutions to these problems are also diverse. In the old world, the larger the problem, the more likely it would be handled by brute force. Before science and medicine, whatever was ineffable was handed over to magic or religion. Non-violence. Sustainability. Sustainability links. Ignore this box please.
