Maybe this is a break in the log jam… in disguise, a real opportunity to ask the tough questions.

Take China’s promise to slow carbon release by decreasing its economic carbon intensity. The strange fact, that points to our need to deeply rethink how we’ve been trying to slow down ALL kinds of environmental impacts, is that reducing carbon intensity does not reduce carbon emissions.

China’s carbon emissions have been increasing ever faster as they have repeatedly reduced the carbon intensity of their economy, all along.   The curious fact is that this is exactly what has been happening for ALL our impacts, all along, and is a key to what got us into this dead end trap we now find ourselves in.

I know a lot about it, from using physics to study the systems of change. There are still ways to turn our direction until going up that ever steeper slope of natural resistance brings us to a standstill. There won’t be after that, is the problem. see www.synapse9.com

We must address the tough questions to survive here, and can if we show a little interest in watching the momentums of change.

This dilemma is actually a great opening to lots of other ways to understanding what our core problem is and how to fix it.
