A key point:Climate issues are not subject to our political divisions
We have entered deep into #Systemic issues that are not und at the levels we are having the discussions.
Thus we are perpetually surprised.
We are perpetually unprepared.
We are not learning at the right level

The issues we are embroiled in today...
They are too big for our small-minded "red/blue" thinking. They are immense, & require a level of (re)thinking that, thus far, transcends our abilities to act...(given the stubborn reluctance we demonstrate on far less complex issues)

Of course it is facile to say this or that one idea/factor/function is the "Key"....
But certainly one of the keys to all of these issues of this quality is to recognize that in fact all of life is integrated, and is integral to the well being of all life

This seemingly simple & obvious point is sometimes given a nod, but rarely is integrated into the "action plans".
Especially when the issues, like climate, are being exampled, as in this particular matter of this hurricane, or drought, fires, food, energy etc....
They are all

They are all
part of a whole, which is the deeper substrate within in which we live & exist.
But we fail to comprehend how, for example, the boundaries of countries, or political parties, are insufficient to embrace the totality of these complexities.

The essential point being: If you are unable to ask the question at the appropriate/necessary level upon which the problem/issue being addressed is functioning on, it will be impossible to get an answer that is sufficient, maybe even relevant to the matter.
We don't know how to or are afraid to entertain the question at these levels for fear of the answers we will get.
Now, the answers of decades ago, in the climate issue, are no longer valid or actionable to the conditions that have emerged out of our unwillingness to heed that

moment. It is akin to the criminal saying "I am sorry, I'll change. I'll do the right thing now..." after having been caught. It is too late. Damage done. Now we are asking a different question regarding the crime.
What was the right thing to do, still needs to be done, but it

no longer adequate to the current state of the problem.
In the terms of this point: That everything is connected: We are structured in groups of nations when the problem is global.
That, & the required solutions provoke overwhelming side issues of economics, social systems &etc

that overwhelm the discussion.
So. Now what?
As in all things, lessons we learn as children, & keep learning through life,
You choose, or the choice will be made for you.
