Personal responsibility is the only way to fix any problems. Especially complex problems of the future whatever they may be — exactly!
For example, nobody designs, except by accident, programs and hardware in a centralized fashion, but goes for decentralized, self timed message passing! And unlike in nature programmers and engineers have complete control over the materials which they form and with which they operate.
Yet most institutional actors dedicate themselves, first of all, exclusively, to the hammer of centralized, bureaucratic entities. So they try to find plausible missions for such centralized, bureaucratic entities. — Why?
There's just no easy money for organizers in decentralized solutions — precisely because these solutions are so decentralized. Only after deciding that centralized solutions are the answer to everything and anything that may have an answer do most past, present, and future big operators look for particular problems to solve.
And the result is what? They gravitate towards nails of all the same kind, — nails which to the representative consumer who's busy, poorly educated, and therefore doesn't think very much and doesn't like thinking, appear plausibly to require centralized solutions. — And the unorganized majority does not object. They remain unorganized — a mass — not a majority — when things start to move. So things move (the wrong things move), the big operators collect, nothing really changes (other than for the worse), and more prospective big operators see opportunity to do more of the same.
Meanwhile centralized institutions, basically harmful except when useful by bizarre accident, accumulate and accumulate and accumulate.
(Ultimately the only majorities are organized minorities. Not easy to organize a larger than certain size group of people — especially those who're busy and already accept premises hand wavingly thrown their way by their prospective opponents should they ever organize.)
This is one lens through which to look at some of the proposals thrown around in politics and even in industry.
incredible.. the truth is like a blade of grass in a field... There are so many issues tied up in the climate change debate.. for me, no matter where the truth does lie,, and am open to believing this even though i have promoted carbon footprinting for years.. is that we need the changes you have said.. and we need them for SO many reasons.
thank you for doing the work to find and pluck this blade of truth out .. and share it with us.. maybe trump isn't such a douche bag after all! lool. (this weeks qotw is on him!)

There really are, and most of the voices screaming about any of those issues seem to fall into two camps: the financially invested & the appealing to authority without any research or critical thought.
I don't think we can possibly know the exact correlations & causations between our actions and the environment around us, but I can say that more personal responsibility (freedom) and less outsourcing of responsibility (government) is always the right direction :-)

I will NEVER forget having to stand in the shallows of a DEAD coral reef in Asia because I had no other choice, when an American starting SCREAMING AT ME for doing so. My hubby yelled back at her 'Yeah, says an American.. what about fucking IRAQ!'. Whilst of course it may not have been best approach in saying American military is responsible for so much fucked upness, it reinforces the idea about perspective and lack of imagination. My standing on dead.coral in two inches of coral wasnt causing harm at all.
I am reminded of apigraha in yogic thought. If we could reduce greed and make everything we do thoughtful and mindful, we wouldnt even be having an argument about climate change.
@riverflows
I would like to know where you got the term apigraha from, because in my, and Patanjali´s, book it is अपरिग्रह, so aparigraha. Another copy&paste desaster? 😘
Hi there! Great post, and an extensive one. Various industries (I would dare to say capitalism) are driving the planet to a brink where it will react , and all these factors that you mentioned (especially military & war) can influence the planet climate dramatically. There are many factors that are in correlation with the temperature rise, for example the melting of permafrost also causes the release of CO2 and methane, which responds gradually with temperature increase, which in return melts the permafrost at an even higher rate. I just hope we don't get to the point of no return. God bless and don't listen to the broken system but to the principles built into our DNA! May the nuclear force hold us together :)
You are even more intense than I am. Its a pity that 'climate change' is so entrenched in many governments, that it appears to take on the form of a religion. I wonder who the arch-bishop is pulling the strings?
It certainly is one of the driving points of the religion of scientism. If there is any one or just a couple behind it, they're probably the same ones always behind these big, clunky, expensive lies. I really think more and more that these things are more just natural manifestations of such a screwy socio-economic structure.
This is a very thought out and informative article. I appreciate the credible sources you've provided along with an insightful argument. I do believe that the media itself is a very scary tool in that it can validate and also invalidate certified research, with the intention of pushing their own agenda.

Yes! Complete bull shit they are!!
Nature has an omnibus INFALLIBLE method of CLIMATIC RESTORATION!!
Notwithstanding that, We should not be complacent to CONCIOUSLY destroy Nature!!

Just a typo lovely ...of course I meant that...just as you meant 'disaster'... am so tired today...xxx Thankyou for picking it up...
Desaster is the word and spelling in German, got in the way somehow. 😉

There's a typo here: "He has never published a scientific paper, and many will say the he has 6 PhDs..."
Thanks for catching that!
