[Terrapreta] Global Warming Is Not Settled Science

[David Yarrow]

the cynical side of me says: 
"goodbye.  please leave soon.  but also clean up your messes and leave a life for those of us humans who expect to live here a few more generations.  and who knows, maybe in a few generations, your offspring will want to come home to earth.  it would be nice to leave a living, fully functional planet behind for such a future possibility."

"or you could be like the borg....."

however, having been through the doorway of death and back, i know it's much more simple.  before the creator will allow humans to wander the stars visiting other planets, we must pass a few tests, one of which is whether we are responsible, conscious and reasonable enough to take care of our current planet.  earth is an isolation chamber where humans are being cultured, and we will remain in this spacetime container until we demonstrate maturity and morality.  we don't get out of our 4D box until we prove we know how to behave.

i believe the first rule of conduct to be nominated for membership in the galactic angelic federation is "peace."

but, truthfully, seen from the next dimension, humans are not likely to roam the stars and contaminate the cosmos as physical beings embedded in protoplasmic cellular matrix.  to go on our own star trek, we must leave our physical bodies behind.  the human destiny is to transcend our physical embodient and retun to heaven as self-aware beaming beings of coherent light.-- something much more than a self-programming hologram. 

in the meantime, we are heavy, and stuck here and now under the law of gravity.

in a state of emergency.

figuring out how to make terra preta.

  david - 

  i have techno-freak friends who see the same trends leading not to 
  "how much is enough" as much as to "how do we go beyond?" as 
  in space exploration, etc.

  how would you respond to them? 

  is it just about competing versions of 
  "what kind of a world do i or we want"?

    my mind follows a far different line of logic.

    increasingly, exponentially, for many centuries, industrial society
    destroyed natural systems, converted "resources" into commodities, cash and
    trash, and blindly, thoughtlessly, recklessly, used the air and water as 
    endless dumping grounds for man's wastes and chaos, and nature as an endless
    source of whatever we want.

    in the second half of the 20th century the consequences and chemicals of
    man's disruptive and destructive activities and industries accumlated to 
    dangerous levels and became evident, and so remedial and restrictive actions
    were made to eliminate the immediate smaller signs of short-term trouble
    without addressing the system-wide impact of human activity.

    in the last quarter of the 20th century, science began to develop
    rudimentary technologies, tools and methods to evaluate system-wide
    disturbances of  the planetary biosphere, but early efforts underestimated
    the fragility and coherence of the biosphere.

    in the beginning of the 21st century, society had to undergo major
    transformation and restructuring for its institutions to be guided by
    science and reason rather than money and power -- and to adopt a covenant 
    with nature to respect and care for all life as part of a seamless, unitary,
    coherent web.

    ultimately, this is not about a new technology.  we are confronting our
    urgent need  for reason, compassion and morality.  in quantitative measures, 
    the biting issue of our age is less "what kind of energy will we have" than
    "how much is enough?"
