How has it come to this? Climate Change and The Future of Planet EarthKaren McChrystal
By now, most people are aware that climate change presents a dire threat to human civilization. But they don’t understand just how dire. International organizations and mainstream media continue to say that we have about ten years, maybe more, to start doing something about it. In my view, it’s already past the midnight hour to start doing something.
This paper includes top-level summary statements regarding the primary factors driving likely near-future societal chaos. Also
included are a number of citations from experts and scientists in the fields of climate change, economics, and sustainability. For the most part, citations are not paraphrased, as the subject is complex and doesn’t lend itself to simplification.
My studies of these topics, on and off for two decades, have led me to the view that civilization as we have known it cannot long continue. The purpose of this paper is not to add to the growing list of alarming climate-related disasters and those that loom, but rather to help people better understand how we got here, and why the civilization we have known cannot go on for very much longer. Then we can hopefully apply what we’ve learned, as wisdom, to better prepare for the oncoming climate chaos.
And we can plant the seeds of a successor civilization, starting
with sustainable, resilient communities which can be enfolded into the future successor civilization.

This is the most important book that has ever been written on sustainable development...You MUST read it ! It is not A revolution, it is THE revolution, THE way to go!"
Bruno Comby, Ph.D., founder and President of EFN Environmentalists For Nuclear Energy
"If you're looking for an energy revolution, Blees has the boldness to offer both technology and vision."
Jim Hightower
“Blees writes devilishly well. His book is a culmination of tremendous erudition compounded by no end of research. Whether our society can be turned around to follow his Pied Piper lead is open to question. But at least he's drawn a map.”
T.J. King, Ph.D. Professor emeritus of English and Literature
"In a time desperate for solutions to the global environmental crisis, we need all the suggestions we can get. This analysis by Tom Blees therefore deserves serious attention as an informed and conscientious voice in the ongoing debate over what to do."

The world is running up huge ecological debts, just as it has run up huge financial debts. Neither is sustainable. Our leaders cannot successfully put capitalism back together again without at the same time fixing the greatest single consequence of unsustainability – climate change.
Lou Laux, emeritus professor of biology at Wittenberg University, wrote this commentary for the Dot Earth blog on greenhouse-driven climate change from an ecological perspective.

The fast evolving global climate change movement - the official science, economics, politics and consciousness - is explained and analyzed. This is a skeptics view of the subject, not a denier's nor an alarmist's. The current role and powers of the UN Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) is discussed in detail.
Climate change causes rise global risks of hunger, floods and conflicts, warns the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) in its latest report entitled Climate Change 2014: Impacts, Adaptation and Vulnerability available on website <http: />. This report states that the catastrophic effects of climate change must take place, for the most part, by inadequate preparation for coping with risks. The IPCC document details the impacts of climate change, future risks and opportunities for the adoption of effective measures to reduce the risks. It concludes that the response to climate change involves making appropriate choices to face the risks in a world that is constantly changing.
Doomsday scenario: How we should prepare to be able to rebuild our civilizati...Marionito Marquez
We have built the Global Seed vault (also known as Doomsday vault) at Spitsbergen, part of Norway’s Svalbard archipelago to ensure the future of humanity in case of catastrophe caused by pandemic or nuclear war. There are discussions how we can bring back the civilization using the plough that kick started our civilization. This paper proposes how we can bring back the civilization faster by safekeeping all the patents, formulas, and important theories that have shaped our economy and way of life through global consortium which we must establish to secure the future of humanity.

Enterprise Excellence is Inclusive Excellence.pdfKaiNexus
Enterprise excellence and inclusive excellence are closely linked, and real-world challenges have shown that both are essential to the success of any organization. To achieve enterprise excellence, organizations must focus on improving their operations and processes while creating an inclusive environment that engages everyone. In this interactive session, the facilitator will highlight commonly established business practices and how they limit our ability to engage everyone every day. More importantly, though, participants will likely gain increased awareness of what we can do differently to maximize enterprise excellence through deliberate inclusion.
What is Enterprise Excellence?
Enterprise Excellence is a holistic approach that's aimed at achieving world-class performance across all aspects of the organization.
What might I learn?
A way to engage all in creating Inclusive Excellence. Lessons from the US military and their parallels to the story of Harry Potter. How belt systems and CI teams can destroy inclusive practices. How leadership language invites people to the party. There are three things leaders can do to engage everyone every day: maximizing psychological safety to create environments where folks learn, contribute, and challenge the status quo.
Who might benefit? Anyone and everyone leading folks from the shop floor to top floor.

26. If we do not curtail our destruction of the biosphere, and halt our population growth very soon, not only will we face a die-off of most of the human population, we will foreclose the possibility of a viable world for all future generations.
31. Virtually all cultures have some tradition wherein it is understood that for an individual to arrive at a state of greater integration and spiritual realization, that person must first undergo a process of psycho-spiritual death and rebirth.
32. At the same time, numerous cultures all have prophesies that seem to foretell either, The End of the World , or The Birth of a New World , or both.
40. Even Karl Marx with his dictum, from each according to his ability to each according to his need, seems more like a prophetic mystic visionary than an economic theorist.
42. It would seem plausible that whatever event is being foretold would at once validate all of the prophesies in retrospect, and yet therefore also necessarily turn out to be different than any of their culturally bound interpretations.
43. What could happen that would at once be sufficient to fulfill our collective psychic experience of the End of the World , while at the same time allowing a New World to be born?
44. One event that could fulfill both conditions would be an economic collapse and subsequent transformation of the global monetary system.
45. But everything we can see suggests that economics will be but one among a multi-dimensional set of discontinuities.
47. For the meta-narrative to be compelling it must at once include the mythic dimension, but it must also embrace and transcend the material and scientific dimensions – for a culture trapped in materialism nothing less will be sufficient.
50. Until it had Eaten All of the Soup and had to Invent Photosynthesis http://fig.cox.miami.edu/~tkoop/spring00/blnphotosyn.html
51. Only After the Oxygen Released had Rusted All of the Iron in the Earth’s Crust
52. The Oxygen Level Finally Spiked Causing Spontaneous Combustion, and the First Climate Crisis

54. Resulting in the Carbon Cycle http://www.energex.com.au/switched_on/energy_environment/energy_s_html_carboncycle.html
55. The Carbon Cycle Has Remained in Balance Ever Since – Up Until Now http://www.bom.gov.au/info/climate/change/gallery/images/9.jpg
56. Thus, Peak Oil can actually be seen as at least the second energy crisis, and Global Warming as the second atmospheric crisis, in the history of life on Earth.
57. Renewables are on track to replace fossil fuel within 50 years or less, even at current growth rates. Solar Wind Biomass
58. But the atmospheric CO 2 level is already so high that it is driving an accelerating loss of Arctic Sea ice. This could set off an irrecoverable feedback loop long before then, even if we could reduce all CO 2 emissions to zero today.
59. Actual Arctic Sea Ice http://www.ucar.edu/news/releases/2007/seaice.shtml
60. Both geologic storage of CO 2 , and seeding the ocean with iron to promote algae bloom to remove CO 2 , are proving unsuccessful in recent scientific tests. However, there are two little known methods of addressing Climate Change that could allow us to first temporarily reverse the warming, and then gradually remove net CO 2 from the atmosphere over decades.
61. Global Cooling is a geo-engineering scheme wherein a fine mist of sea water would be sprayed up into low-lying ocean clouds to increase their reflectivity. Initial modeling indicates that this could counteract as much as twice the warming so far, and do so by means of small robotic wind powered ships at a total global cost of less than $100M/year.
62. Biochar is perhaps the only beneficial method of removing net carbon from the atmosphere. By making a portion of waste biomass into agricultural charcoal the process removes net carbon from the atmosphere while increasing soil fertility. If fully deployed globally, biochar might remove all of the net carbon released from burning fossil fuels, within about 50 years.
64. This allows us to imagine a scenario where Climate Change could prove to be an acute emergency, one that comes to a head within a few years, but one which must be dealt with by implementing both short-term mitigation and long-term solutions that will continue to be deployed over a period of many decades.
65. What if the crises we see on the horizon are not the beginning of a protracted dark age? What if the current model of infinitely accelerating growth is also incorrect? Many events that will be frightening to us may be exactly what must happen to make the leap to a truly sustainable long-term future, but what would that look like?
72. The Family Tree of Life is the True Measure of Wealth Tree of Life Web Project http://tolweb.org/tree
73. For all of human evolution Nature was something with teeth and claws that could jump out of the dark and eat you. Now, in a single generation that situation has been inverted. Nature is suddenly something fragile that we must protect lest we perish.
74. We are undergoing a point of inversion in matter and culture. From this point on our technological evolution in matter may be guided by the recognition of the potential for a climax technology, a state of Meta-Nature. A state as harmonious as nature in the coherence of its design, which, like nature, is the realization of a potential already inherent in the puzzle that is matter. Meta-Nature
83. The Shift must reframe the perception of society, to at once validate everything that has happened to bring us to this point, while at the same time making it self-evident to everyone that we must each now radically change course in the light of this new found perspective.
