The IPCC (Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change) has tabled its findings. According to CNN:
“The debate on global warming is over. That’s the ultimate message from the report released in Paris today by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), the U.N. body of leading researchers charged with analyzing climate science and producing the final word on what is happening — and will happen — to our planet. IPCC scientists now say that it is “very likely” that global warming is chiefly driven by the buildup of carbon dioxide (CO2) and other greenhouse gases caused by human activity, and that dangerous levels of warming and sea rise are on the way.”
If you want to know more of the details, just Google IPCC Climate Change and read to your heart’s content.
It’s interesting to me that even when we know that something is happening, we’re not quite convinced until an ‘official’ person/group says that it is. We’ve known inside – where we live – for some time now, that we’re in trouble. We also know –inside, where we live – that we’re the only ones who can do anything about it. And I’m not talking about recycling.
For lots of reasons (some of which include things I’ve written here at other times, including thoughts from Ervin Laszlo), I am not deeply disturbed by this news. Basically, because it’s not new ‘news’.
In my world, climate is an Environment level manifestation of the higher orders of thinking of a global collective. I’ve witnessed the weather track to what was unfolding in a collective experience (at the Huna retreat, for example) far too many times not to notice the relationship. I also know that as our collective consciousness changes, so will the climate.
A shift in collective consciousness (and just how much is enough for critical mass – I have no idea but am willing to find out!) will transform all levels of thinking below it. The observer affects the outcome. My intentions shape my reality. Our collective intentions shape our collective reality. In this moment, our deeply comatose collective is creating the downward spiral, like an airplane in a nose dive because the pilot has dozed off.
Now more than ever, an acceleration in the evolution of consciousness is imperative. We can try to ‘fix’ the climate problems from the outside, yet instinctively we know that they will only be solved from the inside.
The only thing that will profoundly shift global climate responses is for us to shift the essence of who we are. And, unfortunately, no one can do that for me. I must do it for mySelf – and alone.
Breathing is good…..
