And our most deadly silence of all? Continuing on with our present course of energy and ecological practices of the status quo of our civilization without any attempts toward a determinative effort to move to a new way of living on this earth. MLK appeared on the world stage with the Montgomery Bus Boycott and then the Civil Rights Movement, Continue Reading
As a participant in the Occupy Movement , now over a decade ago, I am not at all unaware of the many economic dangers of the greatly increased hegemony of the 1% (even more so of the 1% of those 1%), but I continue to be vastly worried at how few people who are warning us about these dangers (which Continue Reading
Yeah, yeah…..Typical status quo economy shit: Says the environment and economy can flourish together climate change is real but that other nations are not doing enough to cut their carbon emissions. He said emissions have decreased in the U.S. in recent decades and other large nations should follow suit. Source: Lee Zeldin, Trump nominee to lead Environmental Protection Agency, says Continue Reading
This is a bad argument: “Strongest economy in history” is nonsense, of course. But Dems citing of certain statistics to say Biden economy is best is also bunk. I’m also not setting up any ridiculous “both sides” argument. I’m complaining about the claim by many Dems that this economy we have right now is the “best ever”. That’s not how Continue Reading
The Biden administration’s costly and coercive crusade to replace internal combustion vehicles (ICVs) with electric vehicles (EVs) is disproportionate to its minuscule climate impact. Source: Opinion | Biden’s all-EV dream lives on, despite a lack of sales or feasibility – The Washington Post Compared to the cost of continued fossil fuel emissions? ECOLOGICAL ECONOMICS, people. Ecological costs are REAL and Continue Reading
I am just starting to look into this, but the Green New Deal should also provide for launching us into a housing infrastructure campaign to get tiny homes into the mainstream. It seems that this is yet another area that indicates that we need a New Economy that thinks differently about how we need to live into the future. Tiny Continue Reading
The Ecological Crisis represents what is the most direct assault and consequence of the disengagement from life of the gnostic heresy. To segregate salvation and spirituality into some “internal” transaction is a false move and a distortion of the gospel of Jesus. For sure, there are things happening “within us” as we engage the world from within The Kingdom of Continue Reading
This headline is woefully inadequate. https://www.forbes.com/sites/jeffmcmahon/2019/09/22/no-one-seemed-to-notice-greta-thunbergs-critique-of-the-green-new-deal But hey, that’s headlines for you. It’s not specifically “Green New Deal”. It’s the political game around it, which has become “IT” because “it” is the present expression of the urgency brewing in the “left” ranks. But many of the people behind the Green New Deal would be the first to tell you that Continue Reading
This: Downsizing the American Dream: The new trend toward ?missing middle housing? After years of focusing on the upscale market, developers are addressing the need for smaller homes. www.washingtonpost.com This whole idea is moving in the right direction, but this “missing market” seems right smack dab in the middle, not moving even further toward what we REALLY need, and Continue Reading
Clueless characterization of the ecological crisis: “Niche”. Denial straight-up. Not an “issue” , as in “one among many” to accept or reject. Either you accept science and act accordingly (as we naturally do with doctors, taking their diagnoses seriously, even when getting “second opinions” – we still do not forsake the field of medical expertise). “{Trump officials were} complaining the Continue Reading
Yet another feedback within the human/societal/ecological intricacies
I have never believed in invading other countries, except when it is clear that massive numbers of lives are at stake (such as in WWII***). But we might invoke it in this case of the burning of the Amazon forests, along with other countries who might also care enough of the danger this poses to the globe. The global consequences Continue Reading
Taking the ecological crisis seriously and pressing for action IS indeed “partisan”. But it’s not “Partisan Democrat” or “Partisan Republican” as we automatically assume “partisan” to mean. But it is “Partisan to life”. It is being advocates for the kind of politics that seeks first and foremost to preserve life, and to do that so that it honors and enables Continue Reading
