After examining the human situation for many years, I have to say I find no hope for the future whatsoever. It would be too controversial to predict a time, but all the trends and indicators are pointing to the complete demise of the human race (and so almost all life on the planet) rather soon. There is tremendous upheaval and suffering coming, like nothing ever before.
As I said, it is difficult to find any question to ask. Perhaps the only one that comes is:
What is our response to all this?

Well , when one read any media, sure it is totally hopeless, they want the flock of sheep to be in that frame of mind, as it is easier to control, fear and rewards as well as violence when needed are enough for the few insane creatures to control us...this is and old recipe...ice is melting , nothing proves that it is mankind job but plain main media propaganda, as it seems that this and much worse took place in some past when man was not polluting..
I have read in many reviews that the Co2 amount is what comes after any rise in global heat...and not the opposite as al gore was trying to sell us , not even for free, as he sold tons of his DVD, and it seems that if the Arctic would be sort of melting, the Antarctic would be quite the opposite...
Anyway, it melts here and not there and so what ? This is thought sweating of terror due to fear..fear being escapism, what is escaping what ??
that is the usual way the leaders, always lying and violent, apart from the very few, keep the flock (all of us here) at hand..
The planet seems to go mad, for me not more that when I was young, the thing is just that what was hidden before now is showing itself up..sort of coming out in fact..since my childhood, I am born in 1955, I have found that this human insanity was there,deep don rooted all over the place, I could touch it everywhere, and when reading a history not written by the winners in fact, we just see a sort of constant insanity going on since ages....we are mad-insane...refusing to cooperate and share.....so we have war...
All this is the result of thought using itself as a tool....It was not meant for that as a so called adult...so we are still children, not knowing it of course and we became demented...many roots for that of course..
the leader wants us to have fear and to hope, then we are not in the present apart from mechanically only, well it still works...of course we are not a collective species anymore...so the leaders just have to fight us one by one....when we decided without knowing why and all what it means, to accept so called competition, we the flock of earth have started our own destruction, mental or mental and physical..
The major human problem here is not ice melting or not, the problem is that each one is fighting each one because each one is totally lost within the matrix of thought, caught in opposite choice like good for me or not ,me the leader, the one who always know about everything in its own eyes, not knowing anything deeply for oneself etc our karmic present since ages........because we are told since childhood....and most believe that, when one believes it means in fact : I don't know..and here starts one major mistake, instead of staying with "I don't know" so that thought has nothing to say about as there is nothing in the memory to analyse, I transform in into a belief that will be stored in the memory then thought can analyse it, talk about it ...when in fact there is nothing but illusion...
Science tried to be a new god....its failure,like politic and religion is patent apart for some tools,but what is surprising in that, thought deals with practicality and find out tools...that is juts natural process going on..
winter is too cold so we get central heating, summer is too hot so we get air conditioning, we hate rain when it is vital, we hate changes when it is the fundamental nature of "things" , I could go on for weeks but that would be useless..it is just about thought being working alone so using itself according to personal random desires only, desires we usually know nothing about, all this is totally inadequate for life, thought is for me only a survival tool,yet it is absolutely vital as a part of a whole but it is not enough as a capacity to be able to live...so we survive...not related to anyone, anything at all....
we need to have our lost capacities back, for me if things go wrong I have seen that this must take place, this mess is not incidental, thought must fail for our other capacities to be...first signs of it are from very young when one has fear, suffers, is anxious, uncertain etc etc ..but no educator not parents apart from exception have any clue about that....k was one having some very deep clues....
first step is there are problems ,what are they..?
Is thought again going to tackle such question..if so nothing deep will take place...this is where we are...
When people are linked with themselves and not running away like we mentally do, with at least some depth of life, then they cooperate simply because this is a natural order of things, of the Origin, , then when a problem like oh my god we are all going to drown arises..then as a group we deal with it by seeing what the problem is first, and do what can be done...together...but this is not our actuality , ours is fight...
it is very simple but thought has made it too complex and has no more good clues anymore..
