The Amazon burning is a reminder of humanity’s pathological irreverence toward the earth, a self-destructive dysfunction from which we will heal or possibly not even survive as a species. This is more than a climate crisis; it is a survival crisis, and it should be seen as such.

Like all other issues confronting us the climate crisis is a moral crisis. Humanity is at a crossroads: we need to choose between a system that allows greed to run rampant over the survival needs of the species, or a state of consciousness where such a thing would be unthinkable.

Our ability to take in the horror of what is happening environmentally & summon the courage to do something about it will determine the most critical choice in humanity’s history: whether to continue the journey of evolution or through our own selfishness & greed elect to end it.

Actually it's the poor who are burning down the forests. And building coal fired generators. 2 billion people live without electricity. Are you going to tell them they shouldn't live better because you disapprove of how they heat their homes?

If a country and a people do not have the moral courage and standard to stand up to Trump, they are incapable of fixing the climate crisis. We must do that first. We don't fix that rotten core, nothing else has a chance.

Speaking directly to that which we only pay lip service to. We need to turn this around NOW, or blindly suffer the consequences, and subject the questionable ”future generations” to our selfishness.

Human makes Money Money makes the Human World made everything Everything takes Money. World dies.... Sounds like human's created a cancer, and spread it through out the world's immune system. If only there was a time we lived without putting money above the world's problems.
