Elisabet Sahtouris: Actually, we can’t stop global warming any more. As an evolution biologist I firmly believe that we cannot stop it any more. However, we can slow it down. And slowing it down is very important because we can buy some time by slowing it down and that will give us more time to prepare for this hot age coming on. Human beings have cut their teeth on ice ages, dozens of them throughout the history of humanity but we’ve never before faced a hot age. The earth however has done hot ages before. It may be that our poles completely melt, and if that happens we have huge sea level rises that are going to completely drown 13 of the largest cities in the world and countless other habitats. There will be too much water in the oceans and too little water on the land. And then we will have to get very creative, very clever about to deal with that problem, how to make fresh water out of salt water, how to deal with dry deserts because when the mountaintop ice melts, the glaciers, they don’t feed the rivers any more. And meanwhile we’re draining our aquifers so freshwater will be harder and harder to come by. Are we going to share what’s left? Are we going to cooperate with each other in developing ways of using catching rainfall and desalinizing water? Right now you can certainly be very conscious of the energy you use. You can use the cleanest energy possible. You can lobby in your local towns that the electricity that your local electric company buys come more and more from sustainable sources, renewable sources. You can investigate the alternatives, some of you will work on creating alternative energies. There’s so much you can do. You can watch how much you drive a car, walk when you can, bike when you can. Buy clothing from companies that are as energy efficient as possible and also eat as much local food as possible. All of these things will help to slow it down. Protest against the continuation of the oil age. Fight for clean energy, local energy, renewable energy. Look into the latest technologies. Get interested. Get interested in inventing new ways of coping with the hot age and surviving by caring and sharing with other humans.
