Re post #2949
I am so sad to see this kind of garbage cropping up here on the ASIF: not only a blatant ad hominem attack, which is the last refuge of those who have no argument, but smearing an entire profession ("mainstream" scientists).
Please can we get back on topic?
Ignore it, but careful not to get lost in the details of individual threads either. We need unity and clear direction right now, else we accept our fate as inactive observers. Some of you are content with that, fearing it is inevitable, others are not. It is not scientific to say getting through this is impossible, thus I try.
Simply posting or commenting on updates like ice extent serves little more purpose than further confirmation of our trajectory and its likely conclusions, shared amongst those who are already aware and who feel helpless to do anything, or don't want to.
Thus if you give a damn about trying at all, we all must focus on how to unify global consciousness, which must undoubtedly be the first step in truly impactful changes, or admit that we are doing no more than watch a train wreck unfold with popcorn at the ready.
Offtopic or not, I will continue to say that a great jump in awareness is NECESSARY in the the many minor players (reporters, editors, etc), the vast majority, who compose the entirety of newsmedia. I am more than willing to go offtopic here to raise awareness of that.
The details in this thread and others must be combined to paint an irrefutable (beyond irrationality which can fade in time) picture of where we are headed very soon, and the impact that they as individual reporters have when they do anything but report on this TOGETHER.
The key here is a step beyond saying to a reporter "Here is the information, it looks like we're screwed" and having them just casually drop it in somewhere, it's forcing the awareness upon them that they as individuals, and thus collectively, are the biggest influence regarding the regulation of global consciousness. Any time they report on anything other than the pressing matter at hand, they're letting it happen. Before they were so acutely aware, they would have had no moral decision to make, still in a way oblivious to their total influence as an individual, and their ability to spark a change. AFTER they are aware that in a way, it is all up to them right now, everything changes.
Mass campaign of thrusting awareness and an obvious moral decision on individual reporters is all I can think of. We need unity in consciousness ASAP. Newsmedia revolution through the many individuals seems the only logical way. They are human beings with morals and consciences, unlike the ENTITIES of newsmedia.
I hope someone passes this idea on to someone who can use it better than I.
