In this early part of the 21st Century we are in a planetary reality for which we have no precedence. The last time the atmosphere had as much CO2 as today was at least 800,000 years ago. Modern Humanity has been around for 200,000 years so there is no road map, plan or strategy we can pull up from history.
In order to deal with Climate Change we must change our consciousness. We need to become crew members of This Spaceship Earth rather than continue to be unaware passengers It is time for everyone to realize they are an astronaut.
"The earth is like a spaceship that didn't come with an operating manual"
-R. Buckminster Fuller
"Saving civilization is not a spectator sport. We all have to get involved"
-Lester Brown
"It is not enough that we do our best; sometimes we have to do what is required"
-Winston Churchill
"Some people don't like change, but you need to embrace change if the alternative is disaster" - Elon Musk
"It is difficult to get a man to understand something when his salary depends upon his not understanding it" - Upton Sinclair
"Human beings are good at many things, but thinking about our species as a whole is not one one of our strong points" -David Attenborough
"We are not trying to save the earth- we are not trying to save the planet. We are trying to save ourselves from ourselves" - Tim Rumage
