As far as climate change goes, there seems to be a trend of ideas that don’t seem to jive with a process of understanding that is truly necessary to find solutions.

First of all, it’s important to know, that the solution to climate change is already fully available, it simply needs to be implemented

When the size of our planet is grasped, and even accounted into its potential, Earth is simply a closed system. Nothing comes in or goes out of significance. What we have to work with is all we’ve ever had and ever will.

It’s also important to be aware of the chemistry and physics of change. The expenditure of energy will likely result in heat or the storage of it’s potential energy. There is no quick solution like inventing a product that makes cold.

In select cases, it’s very possibly to get more by using less, which, if implemented as a systemic change, can create a dramatic solution. Simple technological advancements, powered by the capitalist demand for sustainability can alter our impact without compromising the comforts we have evolved to become accustomed to.

What is key is knowledge. We must be exposed to the realities of Earth’s fragility on a daily basis and passionately believe we are responsible for its conservation. We must appreciate, on a cellular level, how we are at the mercy of its will.
