You can enjoy a brief introduction to wise uses of the “warming” and “cooling” symbols here.<\/a>\u00a0 The simple explanations will reassure those who are uncertain of the fundamentals of thermodynamics that they too can\u00a0 understand\u00a0 vital physics. All that is required is an open, inquiring spirit with its capacity to truly embrace\u00a0 the flows and balances of energy that sustain us.<\/p>\n Delusive Hope<\/strong>: <\/span>Global warming is malevolent and a threat to human beings.<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n Comment<\/strong>: The human ego is well capable of generating sensations of self-hatred and can even cause suicide. This is because it is born of the division caused in our consciousness with the advent of self-awareness.\u00a0 Thus it is threatened by the reminders inherent in notions of stewardship that a continuous universal transformation occurs and we are part of this change. Delusive Hope: <\/strong>Stop global warming<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n Comment: <\/em><\/strong>Again this is an exemplar of the ego’s ingenious and sometimes desperate attempts to deny our roles as stewards amidst the universal flux. It reveals both self-hatred and arrogance that we should imagine to prevent the solar system operating and kill life on Earth.\u00a0 Smile. there is a very funny side to the\u00a0 ego’s trickery. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n Delusive Hope: <\/strong>Combat or fight global warming<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n Comment: <\/strong>The ego tends to abhor notions of harmony and communion with the universal flows and balances for they form an inherent reminder of our mortality.\u00a0 It is born of and is sustained in division so it tends to promote conflict in our lives. We see this manifest in the above militaristic language.\u00a0 Fundamentally we are denying the possibility that it is our actions that are not in harmony with the global climate balances that sustain us. Delusive Hope: <\/span><\/strong>Global warming is climate change.<\/span> True Hope<\/strong>: <\/strong>Global warming-up (and global cooling-down)\u00a0 are dangerous.<\/em> Delusive Hope:<\/strong> Global warming is Global warming-up.<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n Comment: <\/strong>The ego is well capable of enabling us to be in complete denial of essential change. Even our most prominent “energy” and climate experts can be oblivious to the fact that they deny the fundamental principles of thermodynamics. Delusive Hope. <\/span><\/strong>Global warming-up does not exist.<\/span> NOTE:<\/strong> The failure to\u00a0appropriately\u00a0 employ either the “warming up” or “cooling down” symbols\u00a0 derives from the same fatally flawed psychology.\u00a0 This psychology tends to exclude notions of harmony and balance from the discourse of our lives .<\/p>\n You can enjoy a cartoon panel discussing our use and abuse of the “global warming”\u00a0 symbol in climate discourse at Energy?!<\/strong><\/em> Chapter five The Ego and Global Warming<\/strong><\/em><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Draft Sept 2014 Summary reminder about this guide. Our world view is simultaneously shaped by and reflected in our use of symbols. The human ego can easily generate very subtle and sophisticated rationales for any use of a symbol. This guide employs deep psychoanalysis founded in the profound wisdom of the principles of physics. It … <\/p>\nSymbol: Global warming\u00a0 <\/em><\/strong><\/h4>\n
\nTrue Hope<\/strong><\/em>: <\/strong>Global warming is a wonderful life enabling process.<\/em>
\nComment<\/strong>: Global warming is the continuous solar warming of our planet even as it is cooling. There is no net change in temperature i.e. a relatively equable thermal state exists.
\nFor over a billion years\u00a0 a unique warming-cooling balance has prevailed that has enabled life forms to exist on Earth.
\nOver the past few millennia the temperatures of Earth have averaged about 15C and have been\u00a0 sufficiently moderate that human life has flourished.<\/p>\n<\/a>
\nIn this case the ego denies our roles as stewards amidst the universal transformation by framing the life-enabling global warming process as hostile to life as we know it. It thus absolves us of our responsibilities to act as stewards of the global thermal balances that sustain human life.\u00a0 The delusive hope enables us to act with impunity.<\/p>\n<\/a><\/a>
\nNote:\u00a0 Searches on “global warming” with or without the “stop” , “fight” generate many similar posters. “Kill global warming” generates many satirical illustrations though they all perpetuate the nonsense they mock.<\/p>\n
\n<\/em>Comment: <\/strong>Almost invariably this equation involves equating the process in our planet is warmed by the sun with human-induced global climate change.
\nThis completely obscures the physics of our actions. It denies the dangerous impacts of some of our actions on climate balances and the general nature of change.
\nCertainly the\u00a0 global warming process generates myriad, continuous micro-climate changes. However an essential global stability is retained.

<\/a>
\nComment. The use of the “up” and “down” symbols reminds us that a thermal imbalance is occurring.\u00a0 An\u00a0 imbalance in the warming and cooling processes of our planet is causing\u00a0 the net temperature to change and this indicates a possible dangerous change of state is occurring.
\nTrue hope resides in our embracing this reality of temperature change\u00a0 and truthfully assessing if human actions threaten us and\/or we need to adapt to more universal changes.<\/p>\n<\/a>
\nThese valuable principles remind us that any form only exists as long as its unique thermal balance is sustained and its\u00a0 temperature is relative constant. A state of change occurs with the cessation of that unique balance and the form ceases to exist.

\n<\/em>Comment:<\/strong> The failure to employ\u00a0the “global warming-up” symbol when an average global\u00a0 temperature change is occurring indicates non-users of the symbol have a flawed or delusional world view. They are\u00a0 in denial of the physics of changes of state. \u00a0 They are thus not mindful of their own role in causing such a change or of their need to adapt to change from other forces.<\/p>\n
