The message I"m getting is not that I have to
prepare for something or change
energy sources, it's that "our lifestyle is killing the planet much faster than we thought".
CO2 levels is just one of a myriad of indicators that are off the scale now.
By lifestyle I mean supermarkets and restaurants and iPhones and planes ... all the stuff that we're so proud of as a society.
Winning, getting ahead, being number one, outcompeting, etc. All those ego-centric values that are the basis of our socio-economic systems - focused on disconnecting the `self` from `other` - are wrong on a fundamental level.
Ultimately it is the lack of spirituality in people that's killing the planet. Religions, Inc are a major part of the problem, not a solution.
By 'spirituality' I mean the deep realisation of the larger context in bio-space and bio-time that I as a creature exist in:
My body is just a cell of a larger organism - Earth - and my life is a drop in the river of life that's been flowing for billions of years - the constant unfolding and re-merging of the DNA molecule.
`I` am the privileged observer of this Process and my ultimate mission is to leave it in better shape than I found it.
Well, most of us are failing at it.
