5 Minutes To Save The Earth

It's become clear that the system is aligned with Big Oil and against us, against our children and against our planet. They want to maximize profits and humans and the Earth are simply tools to earn more money. Neither has any value in our neoclassical plutocracy. We must defy the system, refuse to obey, and use smart non-violent tactics if we want a future for our children an

The authorities have held 28 consecutive international climate meetings, called Council of Parties, or COP. All of these meetings have accomplished nothing: CO2 emissions are increasing and there is literally not even a plan to effectively deal with the crisis.We intend to go beyond those meetings, and those worse than useless so-called authorities and leaders. We intend to work wi

Political and corporate leaders would have you believe that they have things under control and that the only alternative to THEIR way is chaos. That's a lie. Their way, the way we are going, we are cooking the Earth and dooming our children and other species and the entire biosphere that sustains us. The only real alternative is to ditch their ways and adopt a science-based em

The leaders in business and government worldwide have failed catastrophically to address the existential climate crisis in a meaningful way. They want things to stay as they are—even though this is impossible. They like the current situation because they are on top, they get their way. They are hoarding wealth and power. They have inflated egos to protect. But WE will protect the

Maybe the reason climate activists—and ordinary people who love their children and Nature—have not yet launched an effective movement is that the opponent is too strong. Wealthy businessmen and governments have huge resources at their disposal. Destroying the planet for wealth and power is a private-public partnership. What can ordinary people with no formal authority and limit

The movement, The Saners, seeks to put together a team of climate scientists to develop (and then implement) a worldwide emergency program to prevent the collapse of the biosphere. We want our children to inherit a stable and habitable planet—even though it will be a damaged one. What will this team of scientists do? What are our instructions to them? How will this team and their

It's not great men, but ordinary people like you and me—people with no formal authority—who change the world. But somebody must start first, must break the ice, must clear the ground for others to join. This episode identifies three truths that will set you—and everyone—free.Please also check out the website WeAreSaners.org—which is the hub of our growing climate mov

The Saners Movement isn't something separate from your life. If you become a Saner, you must also become more fully yourself, especially your creative self. Being both a unique and creative human being, and a movement activist are compatible roles. In fact, they can be inseparable.Please also check out the website WeAreSaners.org—which is the hub of our growing climate movem

The world is in crisis but we must still live our lives day to day. The mundane and cataclysmic co-exist. And we suffer from anxiety from our ordinary obligations now complicated by a climate crisis. What should we do? How can we balance this? I share my personal approach which may or may not be useful to you. But it should at minimum stimulate some worthwhile thinking.Please also

This is a script for fictional documentary about how things could be—if we sane and caring and allegedly powerless people—took control of events and worked to save the climate and human decency. We need to imagine a better future if we hope to create one.Please also check out the website WeAreSaners.org—which is the hub of our growing climate movement. YOU can join if you hav
