Normal – Paul Noël

Climate changes is ……….

So what is climate change? Very simply it’s you and I and the other 8,000,000,000 human monkeys being normal. It’s us going about our days with very little thought to what we as a total are doing to the very finite dot that we all reside on. Some of us drive cars, some of us live in mud huts, some of us use computers and are paid lots of what we call money for doing so while others walk kilometres a day just to collect dirty water or firewood. Climate change is the cumulative effect of 8,000,000,000 of us doing what we are doing from one instant to the next. And whether we are sitting in an office making wealth on a screen, or building a fossil fuel power plant that will hasten our demise or walking under the baking sun for some dirty water, few of the the collective consciousnesses are considering what will happen when we run out of moments. For instance, here’s an article on the flooding that will occur later this century. So whatever you are doing that is normal and that you are doing at this moment sit back and have a think about what the cumulative effects are of your 8,000,000,000 neighbours of the pale blue dot are before it’s too late.

I could have chosen countless articles on a myriad of subjects so this is just to get you thinking a bit about one aspect.

What is normal? Part 1

Climate change is 8,000,000,000 people doing what they think is normal but in many cases it’s anything but normal in terms of the overall effect of the species on the planet’s habitability. Therefore at all levels between the individual and the species we must question what is normal.

Let’s take a very old comedy sketch, John Cleese in Monty Python’s Ministry of Silly Walks. For those of you too young to have seen it then it must be on the internet somewhere. At the time it was very funny although today it may look to many as just amusing and outdated. Nobody, in general walks like that, it’s not normal so hence the joke. However, take military parades, they often look like many John Cleese’s walking together and countless people think that these people and parades are normal. However, they may also look silly to many other individuals but since they are prepared to go and kill others with a different silly walk there is little to laugh about. Look at what these armies fight over, imaginary lines on Earth’s surface drawn by the Homo sapiens monkey. Physics however does not recognise these imaginary lines.

Below our links are images of some things that are normal but are they? Any thoughts? Let me know.
