I find it a little strange, though not surprising, a little sad, though not unexpected, that today; the largest challenge in human history, discussed in overview by one of the larger political figures in history, falls on deaf ears. 41 views in 5 days. Why is this? Follow the views on videos, and it seems to be because we are all so sensitive to drama on the personal scale. No personal drama holds no interest. The bigger the personal drama, the more engaging. We revel in the emotions. But we can't listen to issues, concepts, opportunities, dangers, that are bigger than our tiny little emotional self. We can't sit still long enough anymore, to even listen to the problem. Are are becoming less fully capable humans? I'm not surprised that this particular enormous challenge of climate change lies before us today. Perhaps it is a necessary test for us, brought on by our complacent napping on the evolutionary road, to either grow and earn our stripes, or be recycled. In the cosmic sense, one could say that the outcome doesn't matter; any more than a seed in a field of millions, that doesn't germinate, doesn't matter. But its a "personal" shame for that seed, this planet, as a wholeness. Its a shame also, for this species, nurtured and developed into reality over billions of years by this planet, that it died napping, taking the majority of the beauty of the world down with it, while caught so deeply in fables originating in its own sense of separation. Will our epitaph really be, that we lay asleep and dying within the absorbing spectacle of the little personal dramas we couldn't help but focus on, and were simply unable to wake up and face the responsibilities of being a Human Being in time? And that the wedding feast of cosmic self knowledge, with a path to it laid out by the great lights of our ages, was reduced to just another sound byte idea, perhaps to fashion a fairly unsatisfying personal drama about? Maybe, we just forgot to turn from our little selves. And we cannot know what we truly are, (A manifested moment of the universe, through all time) until the drama stops within us, once and for all. God be with us all, as He has always been. Let us stand as awake on this earth as we can.

What it is not: is science. Social engineering yes. It was premised on an assumption that the sun could have no influence on lower atmospheric events/dynamics. A bad job.
