Economic warm spots for the 21st century
Living on
this planet you might think that the 21st century will
have profound impact upon the global climate in all senses.
Essentially you would be right on the ball. Not only has the
geopolitical spectrum been confronted and expanded, it has also been
contracted and compounded. Economically the carbon neutral and green
industries have been finding a foothold amongst the corporate giants,
but nowhere near the vision that previous global visionaries had
hoped for. Unfortunately it is still the oil rich and financially
manipulative who control the mass of the worlds resources and are
working around the clock to secure more than their fair share.
Unfortunately
it is the Chicago Economics and Fiat Currency which are basic blocks
to start the change that is needed for a carbon neutral and ethical
global environmental strategy, economics is part of the puzzle as are
scientific endeavour, business procurement methods and the
construction of cities many varying infrastructures, and their legal,
financial and social devices. The basic building of knowledge and
wisdom inherited from the Chinese, Greek and Indian philosophers,
have given us a sound stage on which to build upon. It is up to us
to work on the good and working principles that can help further a
balanced and integrated approach to development.
The
entrepreneurial and often brutal western strategies have caused many
problems, and have now spread to the rest of the world, bringing
destruction and poisoning methodologies in the place of where there
was much hope. It is not the way of the explorer to take more than
an ecosystem can handle or push it past its tipping point, but it is
the way of the corporate or the financial speculator to constantly
gamble on the inability of a system to recover. Hence it has become
the accepted way to do business, to wait in line for the down trodden
and those fallen from the apple cart to come begging for loans and
redevelopment from those who were more often than not involved with
the problems being caused in the first place.
As the
carbon being released into the atmosphere is reaching peak levels
compared to any other time in history it is essential that we are
able to slow if not halt the continual amount of denial and
obstruction for practical solutions. The developing world has its
excuses, and has been growing faster than ever anticipated, with the
aid of western technology, much of which is not implemented ethically
or sustainably. Hence it is fundamentally the responsibility of the
entire world now to take charge of it's effects on the systems we
live in and develop a trajectory for solving the problems we now face
with climate change and possible tipping points which are being
reached. The ice caps and glaciers of the world can only absorb so
much thermal energy before the entire systems are put into constant
decline, and it is our job to pronounce the carbon criminals who are
pushing the worlds future into a far too warm ascent.
