[Terrapreta] What is so bad about global warming?

[lou gold]

Jim and all my relations,

It's more than "just talk". It's a process whereby we all learn and educate
each other about how the world and each of us might become more whole, more
healthy and more abundant. It's not a fear tactic really. It's more about
healing the damage that has been done and the promise of participating in
creating a better world for the future of all species.

Many people are beginning to talk this way, even politicians -- do I dare
mention "The Audacity of Hope"? The Information Age has introduced a new
meme of connectivity that really doesn't "belong" to anyone's program,
platform or property and now we a learning how to do it.

Terra Preta carries the seeds of understanding how to live on this lovely
planet. Both the problems and the promises confronting the Earth are
contained in the idea that "it's all connected." The old Indian way to
express this is to say "all my relations." The modern scientific way to say
it is to say that we are embedded in an ecology.

hugs,

lou
