So.....The Artic just hit 100.4°F this past Saturday (How is this not major news)

Just so that people don't think this is an isolated incident, because climate change is not just one unseasonably hot or cold day....(although one month of data doesnt really qualify as comprehensive)

Arctic records its hottest temperature ever
This heat is not an isolated occurrence. Parts of Siberia have been sizzling for weeks and running remarkably above normal since January. May featured astonishing warmth in western Siberia, where some locales were 18 degrees Fahrenheit above normal, not just for a day, but for the month. As a whole, western Siberia averaged 10 degrees above normal for May, obliterating anything previously experienced.

Them old white dudes did not give af about no climate change.

Why must we take this very European viewpoint? They always viewed themselves as a separate, opposing force against nature.




I prefer the Asian and traditional African model of "being one with all creation". In modern terms, this viewpoint is similar to saying Earth is ONE biosphere. Not a biosphere and a sepetate organism (out of billions) that thinks its special.


Im not on some hotep/Chakra nonsense, but WE are the planet. We are an expression of it. Think about how your genes are 60% of the same genes from a damn banana, but just expressed differently. Or even how 61% of your genes have analogs in the fruit fly you swatted when you were nine.

The planet and its inhabitants are all connected and cannot be judged as good or bad. It just exists. Your viewpoint is like the arm criticizing the little toe.

Wow you really went off on a tangent over something you misunderstood.

Our kids will hold us responsible too. They might have fukked up but it's on us to act now.
