We Are Actually Much Closer To Catastrophe Than This Good Report Would Suggest

Understand here that the scope of this report is mainly concerned about things as related to carbon dioxide levels. And looking at it from that perspective, as we see increases in that currently, the timeline suggested is what it would take to reach concentration levels as seen in the previous time period mentioned.

And even if we just left our sights limited in this fashion, there would be very little to be encouraged about here; not only because every time they take a new inventory, and try to do so with more descriptive data points, over a greater world wide area, the picture always seems to get worse, as far as the rate is concerned. Cocommitent. I suppose, to policies like ours currently, where old commitments to limit are either being ignored, or outright repealed, as we enter a new, much more dangerous, phase of electrically amplified, world competition; whereas these are the really dangerous ones now for not only markets, but resource, and military dominance.

But the fact is we cannot limit ourselves in this fashion. And that is because there are other greenhouse gases to be concerned with, of which, certainly, methane is the most disconcerting. And whether it is from cow farts, or manure, which a lot of it is, or from the defrosting of vast tracts of either formerly frozen over lakes, or centuries of tundra always kept tightly covered by a layer of permafrost; or even stuff in the ocean beds that much warmer water might free up, hardly matters. In the end what you end up with is a cascading effect nobody is going to be able to fully predict before it fully unfolds.

In the light of that, how can all of humanity do anything but assume the very worst right now. And then hope for the best as we actually acknowledge just how dire things are, and start acting accordingly.

If you do not think that this will take us mobilizing to confront, as well as the rest of the developed world, you are sadly mistaken. Just as mistaken as believing money will be anything other than a major impediment to actually accomplishing anything.

As I have said before, when it comes to climate change now it is always a case of it being "half past later than you think." Time is going to be telling a very sad tale indeed if we do not wake up soon.

Just Remember, The Three Leaps Of Life Are An Act Of Faith, Or The Lack Thereof

What if
you could hear things
no one's made yet
in this reality.

The expression
actually felt
of another reality
made mediator
expressing something
in choosing
a path no one
here imagined yet.

Where hearing
is just a poor receiver
of an inadequate metaphor
to fully acknowledge
the full body
synesthesia you
must attempt to translate
to make a mind
space arrangement
meaningfully connected
enough of other
such odd containers

The idea of which
of course
is the rub
of something some
where of getting
a handle to which
you can then grasp
a way to hold it
apart from yourself
for another camera
to angle contrasting
differentials by;
very perceptively
if you imagine it
creatively enough
in the first place
of course.

Ah, but that's the other
rub of letting the leap
take you up for
whatever is there
in the flow
of all of the fallout
that will be inevitable
in all of the resulting choices
as everybody wings it
responding to responding;
and wondering
who
or what
is really in control?

Will you stop
"listening" at all?
Or will you choose
to be a more
imaginative, and
meaningfully connected
listener/chooser? Wanting
to coordinate
with other such listener/choosers
so we can wing
away together
a great deal
more successfully.

It is in your power
if you still have faith
in yourself
of course;
as well as faith
in the idea
of ideas in
anther first place
one last
of course.

What, Ultimately, Creates Boundary?

Two dissimilar things.

Therefore, difference itself must be an elemental intent all its own.

And how could it be otherwise when everything is, at all points of when, always about the mediation between all the increments of variation itself; all the way to the point of complete opposites; the very essence of all of the metaphors concerning being and becoming; light and dark; yin and yang; the one, and the many; etc., etc, because there must, necessarily, be meaning processors involved, each with their own points of meaning processing, and thus, frames of reference.

And isn't it interesting how meaning, and meaningful connection, can then come into this frame of reference, as the successful result of that, ever ongoing, process of mediation.

That this, then, also creates the possibility of more. aggregates of different, only provides the proof of its ability to be self sustaining, and of course requiring of further successful mediation to continue anew.

It is then, in my view of this new way of explaining things, that seeking ever dynamic balance, between whatever the variations are, in the always ongoing now, of change, provides the highest probability in finding the sweet spot of just enough continuing difference to not overwhelm the current carrying capacity of change mediation, and but not so little as to let the hole thing just grind to a halt of no difference at all.

In this sweet spot of best mediated change is the further possibility of ever more complex structure to be created so as to be able to create difference on ever more complex levels of objectification, to begin expressing the cycle again with, in fundamentally new ways.
