[See the full post at: Debt Rattle March 18 2018]Fascinating; spending billions of dollars to save glaciers is better than stopping what we’re doing?
Truly, we’re in an upsidedown world of thinking, problem solving, identifying aberrant behaviors, and generally ignoring an effective way for the collective to continue co-habitating.
Of course we are; and nothing effective will be done.
The game, it is a game, continues; and the morons leading the pack will run this to ground.
All solutions are simple and require the one simple thing we humans can’t seem to do; change our behavior…It all goes back to the Church declaring us master of God’s earth, to do with as we please. Bioengineering will be the death of us. Even Hawking said we need to leave the planet or else. But to do what? Create the same mess elsewhere, can be the only answer. The earth is not the problem, we are. So we need to solve ourselves. But VA, I had expected your praise of today’s painting, and didn’t get any. March 17 was St. Joseph of Arimathea day, IIRC. Painted in 1613, when Rembrandt was just 4 years old, with a hint of mastery of light already, though clothing and faces still feel a little 2D. But then that’s why we have Rembrandt.

That is amazing; I almost did just that re: the painting; and thought nah, not today.
Funny how these things play out…
But; a big heads up to your expose of the church; major player in todays body politic…If the Church said we could do with the earth what we pleased, that was erroneous.
I think the scripture reads that we should be stewards.
There’s a difference.
Well Chris, the Church won out over the Scripture.Hard to see how you can correct that one 500-odd years later.
A read of this article will confirm that we are not as smart as we like to think we are.
The Coming Ice Age
A true scientific detective story (Harpers 1958)It seems that the Arctic was ice-free during the last ice-age – some 11,000 years ago. Well worth thinking about.
