If we really have 12 years left...steemCreated with Sketch.

in #busy6 years ago (edited)

They say we have 12 years before,
We reach a climate tipping point.
They say the solution is to pay more tax,
But where is the change?

The solution to our climate issue comes with change.
Real education,
New ideas,
New ways of living,
New ways of consuming,
A ceiling on desires,
A real effort to do things differently!

If we have just 12 years like they say,
Why dont we see a real call to action,
Real changes,
A sincere effort to make this world a better place?

I am a climate sceptic,
but more to the point,
I am a system sceptic,
I don't believe their science,
i don't believe their words,
I don't trust their intentions,
I don't value their solution,
Business as normal, but just pay!

If you knew the world would be over in 12 years,
Would you just ask for money,
Or would you initiate a global campaign,
To educate and initiate new ways of living?
It sounds very odd to me,
A flag as red as blood!

Remember when the Ozone crisis happened?
That was a real problem,
And that caused massive change almost overnight,
Suddenly we stopped making CFC products,
There was no CFC tax!
It was a real problem with real effective solution.

That is why I dont believe the Global Warming hype.
Because there is nothing happening to really address it.
If we really did have 12 years left, we would see massive changes.
A none stop drive by media and the powers that be, to actually do something!

The problem is our lifestyle, our culture, our system,
Not the clouds, or the sea, or the sun or the rain.
The problem is infinite greed.
The problem is embedded deep.
The problem is fear, not of disaster..
But fear of change.

If you do believe in climate change,
The time has come to do things differently,
We cannot solve our problems with money,
For it is money that created this mess.

We shouldn't sit back and think we've done our bit,
Just because we gave them some more cash,
That is not enough, that is not the way out,
That is not a solution in my world.

How can we know the truth?
How can we take SUCH a risk to say,
They are wrong?, they are cheating us,
Let's do it another way?

Am i crazy, or have I seen the light?
I honestly cannot say,
but what I know is that i no longer trust,
i no longer believe,
what they proclaim!

The fear is rife,
Just 12 years you have
so you better pay!?
Yeah right i say?
I think ill just do it my way!

Live sustainably,
Make your own power,
Grow your own food,
Don't listen to or vote for people who you don't trust.

We cannot solve our problems,
Using the same mentality that got us into them.
We have to be willing to say,
OK, money is not enough, IM ready to change!

I'll eat much less meat,
I'll share my ride,
I'll plant some trees,
That how to survive.

If you do worry, are you ready to change?
If not why not, what will it take?
Do we have to wait until there is no more time,
Until the seas are empty,
And our crops have all died?

I hope you understand what it is that i say,
I just cant wait until the day,
That we get out of the cities,
Let go of desire,
And embrace our world,
IN the way it was designed.

Nature is perfect,
As long as we obey,
The law of this earth,
and the natural ways.

The further we stray,
The harder it is,
To know who we are,
And what is the right way.

I bring you this message,
in the hope that you see,
Us climate deniers are not what we appear to be!

The 8 Pillars of @TribeSteemUp

This is really serious stuff you are talking about here.
And while I agree that just taxing co2 is not enough, in our current economic system this is as good as it gets.
Taxes do of course have an impact, just imagine the US would enforce a carbon tax of 200 USD per ton... how much coal do you think would still be burned.
And I seriously hope that the reference to climate deniers is just a joke.

If anybody seriously has doubts about the science of global warming please got to some science based site like: https://skepticalscience.com/ and spent at least 15 minutes there... if this does not help, nothing will. This i not meant to be arrogant, I am just so surprised about reading stuff like that in this blog...

if I had only 12 years left I would not worry about this world for this world would pass. However I believe and people's souls are eternal energy. They go on forever long after this world dies. I would like to think that my concern would be directed to the hearts and souls of others as well as my own...as our stay here I believe is quite temporary. Thanks Alex.

Awesome! I just said this on fb!! ;)

Very true! Personally this global warming to me is the results of us still exiting the ice age. The whole agenda is just to tax, tax, tax. Yes we need to stop polluting and damaging the oceans and environment but there is a lot of evidence that global warming is a natural cycle. The governments are not bothered about the environment or they would be doing things like law for recyclable packaging etc. I actually wrote to the environment minster a few years ago about this and got a reply basically say it was a lot of effort and was not economically viable for business i.e. supermarkets. So they clearly don't care and just want profits 💯🐒

very nicely said! i coudln't agree more with what you say, its SO obvious from the actions that they care no about the real solutions and just want a good excuse to syphon more money away from us all..

When they are serious about doing something to address global climate change, you will be able to tell because you will see them launching orbital solar shades / reflectors.

We don't really understand exactly how atmospheric chemistry effects the climate yet, and we can't accurately predict the weather beyond a week or so, but there is something that has been well understood for over a century, and that is thermal-dynamics. Atmospheric chemistry and weather prediction are both extremely complicated, but thermal-dynamics is extremely simple. It is an easy concept to understand... if you block some of the sunlight that reaches the Earth, the temperature goes down... and if you reflect more sunlight onto the Earth, the temperature will go up. It's quite simple.

So, when they are serious about doing something about global climate change, you will know because you will see them launching orbital solar shades / reflectors.

It really is just that simple, and it will work regardless of the cause, or the direction, of the global temperature changes. (until then, all you're looking at... is business as usual)

thanks for this ron.. I HEAR U!
