Atmospheric CO2 levels accelerate upwards
The message I&quot;m getting is not that I have to <i>prepare</i> for something or change <i>energy sources</i>, it&#x27;s that &quot;our lifestyle is killing the planet much faster than we thought&quot;.<p>CO2 levels is just one of a myriad of indicators that are off the scale now.<p>By lifestyle I mean supermarkets and restaurants and iPhones and planes ... all the stuff that we&#x27;re so proud of as a society.<p>Winning, getting ahead, being number one, outcompeting, etc. All those ego-centric values that are the basis of our socio-economic systems - focused on disconnecting the `self` from `other` - are wrong on a fundamental level.<p>Ultimately it is the lack of spirituality in people that&#x27;s killing the planet. Religions, Inc are a major part of the problem, not a solution.<p>By &#x27;spirituality&#x27; I mean the deep realisation of the larger context in bio-space and bio-time that I as a creature exist in:<p>My body is just a cell of a larger organism - Earth - and my life is a drop in the river of life that&#x27;s been flowing for billions of years - the constant unfolding and re-merging of the DNA molecule.<p>`I` am the privileged observer of this Process and my ultimate mission is to leave it in better shape than I found it.<p>Well, most of us are failing at it.
