Thank you for introducing Dougald Hine! We need to see the bigger picture of the climate crisis and all the intricacies of connection with attitudes, social actions, and emotions.
Thank you for posting the Fossil Fuel Non-Proliferation Treaty. I’m fascinated by the Antarctic Treaty keeping the continent off limits to military operations and mineral/oil/gas exploration, “…a place of peace and science”. According to ‘The Quickening – Creation and Community at the Ends of the Earth’ by Elizabeth Rush, this treaty has been extended to 2048. Seafloor mapping (I love maps 😊) in Antarctica is reportedly sorely-lacking-to-non-existent because extraction profit has not been pursued there.
How were ‘global we’ able to form the Antarctic Treaty in the first place? Might we be approaching a point in time where cooperation prevails on multiple levels again?
I endorsed the Fossil Fuel Treaty today. While there, I also read the policy brief ‘Nature Restoration Is No Substitute For Steep Emission Reductions’ and as a landscape architect I concur “...that realizing any form of land-based carbon removals takes decades.” The ‘carbon offset dilemma’ is at the heart of why I joined Gen Dread, which changed my life, after reading Dr Wray’s much-needed healing book.
May we also please keep conservation and the biodiversity crisis top of mind?
These are critical, immediate ecological issues (often independent of climate change, e.g., loss of habitat) that must be addressed and advanced well before the carbon machine is held in place…
Dougald Hine is a brilliant philosopher. He reminds us of the universal biblical tradition - the theme that we emerged from one family and are the descendants of an ancient primeval people.
"Dust thou art," said God, "And unto dust thou shalt return." (Genesis, chapter 2.). Mourning our losses is part of the human tradition. It is part of the essence of being human. But we are also forward-looking, discerning people. We must remember that our leader is a mere puppet of the progressive Left, and our country is weakened by the attack on production of fossil fuels here. Don't allow the destruction of our energy infrastructure until we have one to take its place. Steven Koonin says that the idea that extreme weather events are increasing is a myth. Heat waves, tornados and floods are no more prevalent today than they were in 1900 or 1800 or 1700. The IPPC persuades; it does not inform. The prediction models have never worked. Think about it.
I'm not sure we should be taking our steer on the frequency of extreme weather events from a single source, let alone one who isn't a leading expert on the subject, and who has a rather colourful back catalogue on the subject. Do you have anything peer reviewed to back up your claims?
At Work In The Ruins is one of my favourite books, I recommend it to EVERYONE I meet.
