. There are several important reasons for speaking. Here are two the main ones:
Our goal is to broaden human awareness of the devastating consequences of allowing Global Climate Change to continue. . |

. Step one in getting to where we want to go is to find our where we are. 1) Life is not what you've been led to believe it is by those who claim to know. Because of our lack of accurate information, you, I, and everybody else have been (and still are) making critical, irreversible, life-altering decisions based on false, incomplete, and/or intentionally deceptive information. 2) Humans need to be shocked into awareness. Unfortunately for us today, our ancient, internal programming still dominates human consciousness. That programming dictates that small, incremental changes DO NOT trigger any responses in us. We are like the proverbial frog set in cool water in a pot over a stove-top fire. The slow changes are simply not noticed, and soon, it becomes too late to take action. Unfortunately, we need to be smacked in the face with a dead fish before we are even aware that we are in hot water. In order to wake people up, our intention is to use graphic depictions of the flooding and the devastation resulting from a forty-foot raise in ocean level. (Some say that forty feet is an exaggeration. It is, however, the accurate outcome of the melting or the polar ice caps and the mountain top glaciers.)3) Most humans are programmed to change only when it becomes too painful not to. Positive motivation appears to be much less effective in triggering change. Our built-in humans nature is to go along with almost anything except change. So the question is: "How do we teach an old dog new tricks?"The answer is, "We Don't." We don't even try. Why? Because, if human history is any indication of the truth, then we only need about five percent of the people in order to make a successful transition. Once the five percent are in action the remaining ninety-five percent will simply follow (See the next section below: Target Audiences.) . |

Target Audiences ... We are focused on two main target audiences:
The younger generation who still have some degree of flexibility in their minds. There are millions of impressionable young people who are in the process of claiming their own personhood - - young people who are still listening to others and questioning what we call reality - - young people who are deeply troubled by the world they see and wish it were different - - young people who are desperate for adult role models to emulate. .
The other major target audience is the religious true-believers who simply do what their church leaders tell them to do. For the most part, these people have ignored the world's problems, but on the more open-minded end of Christianity, they are beginning to wake up and realize that the Bible tells them that they have covenant with God to take care of the Earth. (Genesis 9:1-20) And:
Speak to the millions of people who have been misinformed -- the people who believe the false stories being peddled by people like "Resident" Bush about Global Climate Change..
Speak to the millions more who have no idea what’s really going on and who, if they knew, would be appalled at what's happening to the world around them. What Is the Message . |

. Wakeup or Die. Global Warming probably won't kill most of us alive today, but it is a serious and deadly threat to our children and to our grandchildren. And if it doesn't kill them, it will, at minimum, alter their lives so drastically that life in the social structures as we know them today, will simply not be possible. We Are Sitting on a Time Bomb. There are million of tons of carbon dioxide frozen under the northern polar regions of the Earth. If the Ice caps actually melt the resultant rise in temperature will cause the CO2 to be released into the atmosphere. This release will trigger a massive heat wave. This heat wave will kill most of the life forms presently living in the planet. Scientists have already found and clearly-documented evidence indicating that the beginning stages of this release are already underway in northern Russia. The CO2 release will trigger such drastic changes in the environment that it will cause a species extinction rate equal or greater than that which occurred at the time that all the dinosaurs died. Human Extinction is now a real possibility. Symbolically speaking, you've just been smacked in the face with a dead fish. Are you awake yet? We are the frogs in a global-level pot of rapidly-warming water! We also need to understand that although a rise in temperature of a few degrees is easy for humans to adapt to, there are thousands of life forms that cannot tolerate even this small change in temperature. They will simply die. Any time you eliminate a species from a finely-tuned eco-system, the changes have a drastic, far-reaching, exponentially-accelerating effect on every other part of that system. Humans have spent years producing causes the results of which are just now beginning to show up. At the risk of being redundant, let me say this again: Symbolically speaking, you've just been smacked in the face with a dead fish. Are you awake yet? We are the frogs in a global-level pot of rapidly-warming water! . |

. Wakeup Call -- A Call to Action. For humans to survival in any resemblance of the social order we take for granted today a massive shift in consciousness is required.Humans have already triggered massive changes in the Earthly environment. Even if all of us instantly stopped all further destruction and all further pollution, the already-in-process changes, will continue on their own and we really have no idea where those changes will actually take us, except that we know that they will be deadly and irreversible. If we continue to pollute and destroy at the present levels, we will simply accelerate the rate of change. |

.7 . Several steps toward reversing Global Climate Change are presently possible.What we cannot do: We cannot make simply, half-hearted, futile gestures like demanding reduced auto emissions in ten years and then sit back and claim we've solved the problem. What We Must Do:
Several steps are listed on our action summary

.7 . Self Interest: People always act in a manner that they perceive to be in their own best interest. The simplest way to change someone else's behavior is to change the result they receive from that behavior. When the rewards go away, the unwanted behavior simply stops. Apply the Universal Laws: The most effective way to manifest changes is to consciously and intentionally apply the Three Universal Laws of Creation.° These laws apply at all times, in all place, to all manifestations , regardless of who is doing the manifesting, and regardless of the purity of demonic intentions of the manifestor. Because "The Universe" is quite literal, these laws are always a part of every manifestation process. They apply even when the creating is done unconsciously, unintentionally, or accidentally. Reframing: In helping people step out of their self-limiting beliefs, there is a technique called re-framing in which you take a familiar object and give it a new meaning and in the process change the way a person looks at that thing. We are using that technique to inspire the open-minded portion of the Christian community to become leaders in reversing Global Climate Change. Their sacred text tells them that they are at one with nature and that they have a covenant with God to be stewards of the Earth. Looking at the planet from this perspective makes protecting the Earth an act of honoring God. . |
