The so-called energy crisis is mainly hype and FUD (Fear, Uncertainty, and Distrust). Much of this is being created by the energy companies as an excuse to increase their prices.The carbon taxes are simply an excuse by the various governments to extort more funds. After the coming economic collapse, we can start again with the cleaner and cheaper options. The price of electricity and fuel will continue to increase. It becomes important now to understand the rules, to be very observant and aware.

Global Warming and Global Cooling are all part of a cycle.Climate oscillates.Nature contains a set of checks and balances,It is never steady.We have only to look back over the past 1000 years to see the Medieval Warming,the Little Ice Age, Global Warming and the Current Cooling.The amount of control we have at this level of technology is minimal when compared with the effects of nature.Unfortunately this topic is filled with agendas and downright lies. Our best guide is the behaviour of the sun

A phrase everybody knows,but who understands it?Christianity and Islam came upon this world with fire and sword and their impact upon the nature religions of the New World was devastating. This conundrum has faced mankind many times – every time we move from one age to the next.Ask the Bull priests of the Minoan culture as the age of Taurus closed. Ask the minor religions of Rome and the Middle Eastern countries as the age of the fish came crashing in.Do not expect utopia – we are not there yet!

Economic Failure.The Western World has been overspending, over consuming resources,and living above its means for over a century now,particularly the US.This is normal for any period of change. A society’s roots must fail to allow the emergence of the new system. We are about to see the end of the money concept and the financial system.The next step in the journey of the naked ape will see a more pleasant future.It becomes important now to understand the rules,to be very observant and aware.

The Great Turning from Empire to Earth Community. Joanna Macy curates a blog “The Great Turning” which provided me with some great thinking. As a society we are beginning another change. We started as hunter gatherers, moved through the agricultural revolution, the industrial revolution, the information age and now are moving toward earth community. This will instigate a change to a greener, more bucolic lifestyle, a major upheaval in the monetary system and sensible automation.

There is so much written about the coming changes.Either an effort to cash in on people’s ignorance and fear or to push some theological wheelbarrow. Both have an unacceptable measure of control built in.Do this or pay me and I will save your soul, your life your … YUK!! OK – we do have some fairly large changes coming – so much so that I doubt those born in 50 years will understand our current way of life at all. But it is not a bad thing – merely the next chapter in the life of the naked ape.
