Laws of men follow the Natural Laws:
Aristotle’s definition of justice was ”to each his fair share…”
And that is just the way that Environmental Justice and Action should be set upon in our planetary human network. No more divying up the spoils of development and fossil fuel. Let us talk about legacy oil and gas and leave them in the ground for that is where they belong. Why not leave legacy coal to rest and built upon the common future, of intelligent renewables?
The basis of Natural Law is what we really have to come together and understand the gathering fight against climate change.
Still the evolutionary basis of cooperation and religious beliefs to take action against global warming are elements in the human network fight against climate change.
The vast religious groups can and ought to use their international influence, their networks and strong belief in the natural laws and the sacredness of life, to motivate people into reducing the environmental impact of their lives and actively to volunteer and commit to changes.
One must thank and value religious beliefs in uniting the world’s communities to tackle the global issues of our shared past. Now and for our future we must rally the religious beliefs amongst other laws to fight the good fight against the evils of indiscriminate runaway greenhouse suffering amongst the poor, against climate forcing effects and to support the solving of fragile people’s eco-location problems .
Mathematicians, Complex thinkers, Physicists, Game theorist of yore and even Charles Darwin considered one of the great unsolved questions of our time, the evolutionary basis of human co-operation. Yet religion solved this challenge consistently, time and time again. We should learn…
While scientists have means of explaining the emergence of co-operative behaviour in small, related groups of animals, understanding co-operation among distant human societies has been a radical challenge. And promoting large scale cooperation is even further than our sites…
But let us think naturally and expediently; and why not inaugurate a New Religion and let us then rally around it.
A religion of Natural Laws guiding men – All men into action and positive beliefs of change. Let us learn from the religions of the past to create the one of the future. Time is now: Act.
The issue is as pressing today as it was to Darwin and before many years ago, because of the urgent need for global co-operation to tackle ecological challenges.
On the one hand religion, offers a strong motivation for involvement because of the idea of sacredness, and on the other hand, the ethical constraints it imposes, result in the motivation for widespread and extensive worldwide communities.
The biggest environmental difficulty is that globally co-operative actions are required. These difficulties are compounded by the fact that nations must really co-operate, in equitable proportion to their emissions and well being.
To me it sounds very much like St Paul’s words : Each one of us, must contribute lovingly according to our srength, skills and ability. But we shall share with each other, according to each need…
I simply feel that, we have no more room for squabbling about whose greenhouse this is.
