Anselm Kiefer has created a body of work that broke the silence surrounding the German past in the Third Reich, while also finding a poignant language for articulating the
global intertwinement of
human civilization.
Please consider that
human civilization and life as we know it could be put at risk by not providing reasonable, sensible and moral ways of regulating worldwide the currently unrestrained and skyrocketing increase of absolute
global human population numbers.
We have been blessed with a small window of relative climate stability, the Holocene, which seems huge to us, because it is the only kind of
global climate that
human civilization has ever known.
I am not assuming — there is overwhelming evidence (from copious data, much of which can be found on or linked to from this web site) that
global temperatures are rising at a rate that may soon seriously disrupt
human civilization, and that the best explanation for the cause of that projection (based on even more data) is
human - driven, rising atmospheric CO2 levels.
Secondly, while there are indeed lots of other unsustainable
human impacts on ecosystems and the Earth's biosphere generally, the rapidly escalating effects of anthropogenic
global warming threaten to overwhelm all of those other problems in the very near future, with devastating impacts not only for
human civilization and the
human species, but for all life on Earth, for a long, long time.
A fair, effective and balanced treaty will put in place the
global architecture that will place the world — at long last and in the nick of time — on a path toward solving the climate crisis and securing the future of
human civilization.
Anyone who thinks that there is any genuine «debate» about either the reality of anthropogenic
global warming and consequent climate change, or the grave threat not only to
human civilization but to all life on earth if unmitigated, «business as usual» anthropogenic
global warming and consequent climate change are permitted to continue, is profoundly misinformed.
On the one hand, we have Vinod Gupta (# 61) saying, ``... no
human solution to
global warming is possible for the industrial man and industrial
civilization is ultimately doomed.»
Most importantly, as long as we continue to depend on dirty fossil fuels like coal and oil to meet our energy needs, and dump 70 million tons of
global warming pollution into the thin shell of atmosphere surrounding our planet, we move closer and closer to several dangerous tipping points which scientists have repeatedly warned — again just yesterday — will threaten to make it impossible for us to avoid irretrievable destruction of the conditions that make
human civilization possible on this planet.
CAGW or Catastrophic Anthropogenic
Global Warming is the acronym used (mostly by those that don't support taking immediate action on climate change) for the theory (or collection of hypotheses) that attribute most of the observed modern warming to
human activities and warn that continuing similar activities (mostly emitting CO2) could result in warming that is dangerous to both
civilization and a number of ecosystems.
Gore's call to «make peace with the planet» requires an integrated awareness and action against both
global warming and
global warring, simultaneously — Gore describes the problem as huge, but in limiting it to civilian activities, not including military madness and mayhem, it is not huge enough — if a patient has both diabetes and severe trauma, both conditions must be treated now — militization trumps
civilization in the headlines of today and tomorrow — if the truth is that both
global warming everywhere and
global warring anywhere are linked in the
human biosphere, and if that truth is inconvenient to Mr Gore and the civilian scope of his campaign against
global warming, lethal consequences for both
humans and other species will continue — in cinematic terms, the great «An Inconvenient Truth» must be blended and coordinated with the great «Why We Fight»
Then came a talk on Energy, Complexity and
Human Survival by Thomas Homer - Dixon of the Waterloo Institute for Complexity and Innovation and Balsillie School of International Affairs, who studies
global risk, governance and change and is the author of The Upside of Down: Catastrophe, Creativity, and the Renewal of
Civilization and «Environment, Scarcity, and Violence ``:
The World Bank notes that absent any policy changes, the
global average temperature could be 9 degrees Fahrenheit warmer by the end of this century, well above what
human civilization has ever witnessed.
I think maybe you could connect up this growing awareness of long time or deep time, in
human civilization, with the previously noted increase in our sense of spatial reach, that sense that we are now all part of a single
global civilization, the «
global village» notion.

Some scientists have even warned that
global warming could take down
human civilization as we know it.
A new study confirms that carbon pollution has ended the era of the stable climate conditions that enabled the development of modern
civilization High levels of carbon pollution have caused
global temperatures to rise above the slow - changing, relatively stable conditions that existed «when
humans were figuring out where the climate — and rivers and sea levels — were most suited for living and farming.»
Only completely blind denialists would posit that our current
human global civilization is only having a «negligible» effect on the planet.
Human civilization developed over a period of 10,000 years during which
global average surface temperatures remained remarkably stable, hovering within one degree Celsius of where they are today.
Gore's thesis is fourfold: (1)
Global Warming is real, (2)
Global Warming is a potential catastrophe to
human civilization, (3) we CAN do something about it if we act both quickly and responsibly and (4) we are all in this together; it is not (or should not be) a political debate.
Marc Morano, publisher of Climate Depot, and author of the new book, «The Politically Incorrect Guide to Climate Change,» charged that, «This new
global environmental pact will have more teeth and cover more aspects of
human civilization than the U.N. - Paris climate pact.
Considering the severe challenges posed to the
global climate system, to species, and to
human civilizations by rampant carbon emissions now in excess of 11 gigatons each year (nearly 50 gigatons CO2e each year), the new and increased availability of solar energy couldn't come soon enough.
New calculations by the author indicate that if the world continues to burn fossil fuels at the current rate,
global warming will rise to two degrees Celsius by 2036, crossing a threshold that will harm
human civilization.
Then again, you didn't have to be a IPCC climate scientist to figure out that
global warming / climate change from
human influences was not an existential threat to
civilization.
The expansion of
human civilization is an experiment on a
global scale: What happens when a species obtains not only intelligence but technology?
It would be an enormous relief if the recent attacks on the science of
global warming actually indicated that we do not face an unimaginable calamity requiring large - scale, preventive measures to protect
human civilization as we know it.
A (2) Modern warming, glacier and sea ice recession, sea level rise, drought and hurricane intensities... are all occurring at unprecedentedly high and rapid rates, and the effects are globally synchronous (not just regional)... and thus dangerous consequences to the
global biosphere and
human civilizations loom in the near future as a consequence of anthropogenic influences.
Global warming and climate change pose a huge threat to
human civilization and the
human species, as well as countless other species.
The first part reconstructed
global temperature over the last deglaciation (22,000 to 11,300 years ago)(Shakun et al., 2012, Nature 484, 49 - 55; see also http://www.people.fas.harvard.edu/~shakun/FAQs.html), while our study focused on the current interglacial warm period (last 11,300 years), which is roughly the time span of developed
human civilizations.
Taken in the context of steadily worsening climate news, a reasonable person might conclude that all the ice in Antarctica — enough to raise
global sea levels 200 feet and paralyze
human civilization — may now be vulnerable to melt by the time our grandchildren retire.
If we allow sustained
global average temperature increases of more than 1 degree Celsius, we will suffer irreversible climate destabilization and a planet largely inhospitable to
human civilization.
Our
global civilization is conducting an unprecedented, unplanned experiment (major
global recession) in reducing
human CO2 emissions, and it's not having much impact on CO2 levels in the atmosphere.
The last time that
global average temperatures were as warm as they will be in 2100 was tens of millions of years ago, long before the advent of
civilization, or even the
human species.
Global average warming over the 21st century «will substantially exceed even the warmest Holocene conditions, producing a climate state not previously experienced by
human civilizations.»
Global cooling would be a LOT harder on
human civilization than even the wildest - eyed projections of the AlGorites.
