TERRA MORTIS IBD

Sinopse

WeâÇÖve run out of planet. Humans have exhausted the gifts that the Earth provides. A whole 1.7 planetâÇÖs worth. The Great Barrier Reef is dying. The great dying will gather pace until we hit rock bottom. Our grandchildrenâÇÖs children will be bereft, left only with dust and diesel.The trees have nearly given up. The animals have done what they can. 9/11, the GFC and Covid have tried their best to warn us. Monotheism has abandoned the earth for heavenly rewards. Indigenous peoples are now only 5% of the worldâÇÖs population. 55% of the worldâÇÖs population lives in cities. And our relationship with beauty has been lost.To think the unthinkable allows what does not have a home to find a home. Then it will not appear in matter the same way as it might have done. Perhaps.It may be that this planet will die, is dying or has died-but we donâÇÖt know it yet. She may right herself without help or interference from us. I hope so. Or if her life is in danger she will let her children die without sentiment so that she may live. However, all possible futures may not be open, we may have gone past a tipping point, and there may not be enough time. God, Goodall and Attenborough wonâÇÖt save us.áThere are mountains and oceans of evidence about the perilous state of the planet. ThereâÇÖs no need for more and we must ask, 'What forces compel us to continue to deny the obvious?' We think we have time. Maybe we donâÇÖt. So letâÇÖs begin to make space within ourselves for the thought that this planet of infinite beauty may die. Now stand back and watch the reactions, your own and others, to such a notion. Then read on.
