The State of our Climate System 2023 (David Spratt)

Atmospheric GHG rising, no sign of declining soon�
Warming will reach 1.5°C around 2030, efforts to “stop” at 2°C not credible

Permafrost carbon emissions, and dangerous climate feedback loops they will set off, not accounted for in most models - implies no carbon budget left.

Will Steffen -big mistake to think we can “park” Earth System at 2°C & expect it to stay there.
Projections show 2.7°C - 3.5°C
Six in ten climate scientists expect at least 3°C by 2100

Atmospheric levels of greenhouse gasses reached record highs in 2022.
IEA- global emissions from energy are growing, may peak in 2025, then plateau at a high level for a decade+, not decline significantly.�
Warming will reach 1.5°C around 2030, irrespective of emission reduction initiatives (IPCC)
2°C warming means achieving a 50% reduction in global emissions by 2030 (net zero for high emitters) - we are nowhere near this.

Permafrost carbon emissions, and dangerous climate feedback loops they will set off, not accounted for in most models - implies no carbon budget left.
Potsdam Director Johan Rockström:“ If we go beyond 2°C, it’s very likely that we have caused so many tipping points that you have probably added another degree just through self-reinforcing changes”

The State of our Climate System 2023 (David Spratt)

Schellnhuber “If the tipping elements interact and cascades develop, then the heating could become [self sustaining] at 2°C- it would mean the end of our civilisation.”

US security analysts - 3°C could result in a world of “outright chaos”.

Chatham House- risks are compounding, impacts will be devastating in the coming decades, especially for food security; 30% drop in crop yields by 2050

Greenland Ice Sheet (GIS) glaciers are melting 100 times faster than previously calculated. Current global average temperature increase is enough for 5–10 metres of sea-level rise in the longer term

REALITY CHECK!!

UK Carbon footprint went down by only 2% since 2017

“We are on a pathway to global warming of more than double the 1.5°C limit agreed in Paris. Some Government and business leaders are saying one thing, but doing another. Simply put, they are lying. And the results will be catastrophic. This is a climate emergency. Climate scientists warn that we are already perilously close to tipping points that could lead to cascading and irreversible climate impacts. But, high-emitting Governments and corporations are not just turning a blind eye, they are adding fuel to the flames. They are choking our planet, based on their vested interests and historic investments in fossil fuels..”�Antonio Guetteres, UN Secretary-General April 2022

Defra figures

We are on a pathway to global warming of more than double the 1.5°C limit agreed in Paris. Some Government and business leaders are saying one thing, but doing another. Simply put, they are lying. And the results will be catastrophic. This is a climate emergency. Climate scientists warn that we are already perilously close to tipping points that could lead to cascading and irreversible climate impacts. But, high‑emitting Governments and corporations are not just turning a blind eye, they are adding fuel to the flames. They are choking our planet, based on their vested interests and historic investments in fossil fuels, when cheaper, renewable solutions provide green jobs, energy security and greater price stability. The science is clear: to keep the 1.5°C limit agreed in Paris within reach, we need to cut global emissions by 45 per cent this decade. But, current climate pledges would mean a 14 per cent increase in emissions. And most major emitters are not taking the steps needed to fulfil even these inadequate promises. Climate activists are sometimes depicted as dangerous radicals. But, the truly dangerous radicals are the countries that are increasing the production of fossil fuels. �Antonio Guetteres, UN Secretary-General Apri 2022

The Nature of human beings

Slide

Neuroception- feel where you are in this- what are you being alerted to?

How the system keeps us in low level triple F

How to find our way back into here… body sensing (slap body)

Skeena notes

The nature of human beings

-from Iain McGilchris/INPP and Darcia Novarez - the evolved nest theory

-polyvagal theory and more

-social and neuro psychology, physiology and biology

Place your hand on your pelvis in upside down triangle - because fear can feel like it lives in your stomach area. It kind of does - the most connections down of that part of your nervous system

Talk to triangle

Dr Ruden says the number one fear of human beings is fear of abandonment - original separation wound

original powerlessness wound

original scarcity wound

Darcia Novarez, Anthropologists like Jean Liedelof, Psychologists Mary Ainsworth, John Bowlby and Winnicot, Dr Terry Brazelton. So we are conceived into this sense of oneness - the womb time experience although can be traumatic are needs are met right on time

The Evolved Nest 9 principles help the human being arrive safely in separation - Its a Salutogenic approach - What causes wellness, a body that feels and memorises abundance, connection and power - I matter - my call matters.

The brain and senses - INPP - sensory integration challenges, ADHD some of this is the brain in adaptation to early trauma. Its not wrong or right.

Iain McGilchrist - Neuroscience and neuropsychology - The Left and Right hemispheres and corpus callosum.

The Sufi Story - The Master and The Emissary - the master gets betrayed by his student believing his more limited understanding is superior and right. Not realising that in doing so they will betray themselves.

Natures intention is to hold two opposites forms of perception side by side. Lets talk about this in a political way -

Asserts the western world and particularly since the age of so called enlightenment (oh the irony) or modernity we have become left hemisphere dominant’

Info, perception, awareness comes into the brain from the right, sent to left for serialising, analysing bit by bit and back to right for integration and whole meaning making.

The right holds an awe and wonder for what all that is not as it seems. It allows for whole brian solutions for wholeness. It allows for curiosity and complexity and a constant re-imagining. Vital to metaphor, story, language, sensing, voice, tone and facial cues

The Left brain is responsible for analytical processes and it call pull things apart to know them better. It can bring order/sequence and organisation.

The traumatised brain

Ian suggesting that left he reliance and over-use with rejection of overall control of the right h has become a compulsive social dysfunction risking self annihilation on its way causing all kinds of ill and obsessions.

By constantly suppressing the right brain we keep making the wrong decisions and re-describing and re-enacting the same phenomena.

Emotionally -

By living primarily from the left h a tragedy occurs - we dismiss ambiguity, feelings are shallow, happiness becomes hedonistic, relationships superficial, nature other, intuition mistrusted and love suspected.

The right h insists on introspection where we hold the faculty to learn from experience.

Our left h dominance creates a rationalist culture then creates asymmetrical and unbalancing outcomes and solutions, plans and strategies and bureaucrats, managers and sociopaths as leaders. Divorced of the power of integrating gut feeling and heart feeling and whole brain sense making and meeting of any problem.

Corp C -

The Body in Trauma - Wilehiem Riech, Peter Levine, Stephen Porges, Ronald Reuden, Bessel, Gabor, Hubl etc

What is trauma - a memory the body and mind havent integrated so it gets replayed in various conditions in varying ways. Ronald - when the past is always present - Bessel - The Body keeps the score.

The work to understand trauma and its expression means

You can track it in yourself and others - posture, eye contact, breath, voice/sound/tone, facial muscles, your water body changes - feeling heat/steam, tears, sweat, as pre- verbal and then it can become verbal. Its a wave of the fear triangle. I'm not safe, Im less than - so then to restore our sense of safety and self we can go into a power- over move. Which then cascades because when a power over move comes towards you - you protect or defend or one-up the power over.

So then what do we do with the immense power of our body brain -

Meet the nervous system and heart

Polyvagal Theory - 3 parts of nervous system, blended states and gives us techniques for repairing our ventro - vagal states.

Heart brain - HRV - coherence. Simple - its remembering what you love. Heart gratitude.

Collective psychobiology - western civilisation is generally stuck in a collective sympathetic nervous system response and with depression now leading cause of ill health - upwards of 50% predicted - a dorsal state will be the most common health condition in the western world - where we are beyond scared - we get immobilised. Producing a collective psychology of anxiety and Fear. Our traumas are un - metabolised, our lives so stressful, the world so frightening.

So if half of us are depressed and most of the other half anxious or both then what? And what can we get done?

We might as well be turning up at the mental health clinic to recruit activists.

We are traumatised peoples. Our Early years experiences from the breakdown of the evolved nest and our early years schooling are traumatising. Our systems are traumatising and our political systems, the way we think big change happens, are often traumatising (as a former elected politician I know this). We have created systems in the image of our trauma. We have designed from fear and for fear. Its a negative feedback loop.

So we hear of pervasive climate anxiety and yet no action and we are accused of frightening people and fear mongering. Alongside the great and good weve done. Its also true, there may be a damaging recklessness. People are in a soup of anxiety and fear.

We think we are going to scare people enough to act and or that there liberation depends on us making them see and feel the climate crisis - we say “well our fear mobilised us so it can mobilise everyone else” but what happened in “Don't Look Up” the more they scared traumatised people - which is what humanity is now generally, the more dysfunctional the response became.

Response is all about capacity. We have to ask what capacity do people have? What can they hear? What can they face?

Political research has shown that when people get scared they accept more control, more authoritarianism, totalitarianism and fascism. Because authority is saying I know how to make you safer - I have the solutions for your safety. They submit for safety. So then by leading with fear we could inadvertently cause eco-facism.

Sympathetic nervous system activation - triple F immediately changes our breath - trauma and any trigger of it also changes our breath. Trauma responses change our breath. This is reflected - we are suffocating the primary systems that help us to breath - our oceans and forests.

Breath - we are over breathing - in the last 50 years human beings are breathing more breaths per minute - we are in a breathlessness. George Floyds last words were

“I cant breath” - his suffering which is the suffering of many was both an articulation of our crisis and prophecy.

Its super exciting because guess what some of the worlds leading trauma specialists are saying - Bessel - number one selling - psychosensory integration is the way - simply - all that means is our ancient practices, our original wisdom for movement, breath, dance, song, touch, eye contact repair, the chinese were right about the meridians - EFT.

It is a biological imperative for our nervous systems to be in contact and connection with what lives.

Breath ourselves back to life. Heart Gratitude - Love ourselves back to life. The water body as a gateway - tbd later.

A malignant force that can take over people and �their systems - the culture becomes a disease…

wetiko

We have cultural myths, stories, memes that speak of this

Wetiko Algonquian (al-gonkee-an) native languages - “white mans disease” - fuels colonialism

(picture is sauron from Lord of the rings - the hobbits go to face him in Mordor where he rules)- we have these cultural stories because they tell us about ourselves… wetiko= white mans disease= white supremacy and a rapacious appetite, Rakshasas, vampires, goya’s painting of saturn (chronus) eating his son Cronus envied the power of his father, the ruler of the universe, Uranus. Cronus learned from Gaia and Uranus that he was destined to be overcome by his own sons, just as he had overthrown his father. As a result, although he sired the gods Demeter, Hestia, Hera, Hades and Poseidon by Rhea, he devoured them all as soon as they were born to prevent the prophecy.

Also have the hungry ghost that cannot be satiated in buddhism

Hinduism

Rakshasas were most often depicted as shape-shifting, fierce-looking and enormous creatures, with two fangs protruding from the top of the mouth and having sharp, claw-like fingernails. They are shown as being mean, growling like beasts, and as insatiable man-eaters that could smell the scent of human flesh. Some of the more ferocious ones were shown with flaming red eyes and hair, drinking blood with their palms or from a human skull (similar to representations of vampires in later Western mythology). Generally they could fly, vanish, and had Maya (magical powers of illusion), which enabled them to change size at will and assume the form of any creature. The female equivalent of rakshasa is rakshasi.

Let’s understand complex systems

“When we try to pick out anything by itself we find it hitched to everything else in the universe”

All systems are in some ways a like - they have:

Feedback loops, some control change others reinforce it�

Britain is sleepwalking to collapse- Narfeez Ahmed Byline https://bylinetimes.com/2022/10/19/britains-stark-choice-ahead-transformation-or-collapse/

Four stages of neoliberalism have been implemented

1. Rampant privatisation (sell off public goods)

2. Capital market liberalisation (monies flood in to buy assets)

3. Market-based pricing / slash public spending (remove state controls and subsidies of key prices – drives up costs of energy, food and water.

4. “Free trade” - eliminate barriers for foreign speculators (such as taxes, regulations, worker protections, environmental protections etc)

Consistent and predictable results elsewhere (scholars call them “IMF Riots”)-: the outbreak of social unrest as citizens experienced massive drops in quality of life, basic living standards and affordability of basic goods and services.

Increasing chance of consumer debt defaults – esp. mortgages – could spark cascades across UK financial system
Uk 6th largest economy: fallout “could spread to impact the wider global financial markets, which themselves are sitting on incredibly thin ice as liquidity disappears”.
Current policy landscape - 3 levers - 1. tax increases (ideologically not focussed on wealthy), 2. cutting spending and 3. Increasing interest rates (mortgage meltdown), inflation at 10% -IE solutions not possible within current system�
1,500 excess deaths per week in the UK currently

Life is an organised complex system

Beautiful, incredible, nothing else remotely as powerful �(destruction far easier than creation)

How can we come back into life, align with life and consciously be part of �and create the conditions for an emergence that will sustain life?

Tomorrow we are going to be looking at some features of complex global systems

Lets understand there is useful concepts to support us

A fractal is a never-ending pattern. Fractals are infinitely complex patterns that are self-similar across different scales. They are created by repeating a simple process over and over in an ongoing feedback loop. fractals are images of dynamic systems – the pictures of Chaos. What happens at small scale can be repeated at larger scale

Also emergent properties- the repeat of simple rules can create complex unforeseen behaviour - properties emerge all the time in biology for example - ant colony

The Three Horizon way of thinking and vision

Horizon 1 is the nearest: - it is what we see here, the problem, the current way

Horizon 3 is the furthest (THINK EMERGENT): it is our hopes and dreams, our vision of what is possible.

Horizon 2 is in between: this contains the seeds of the horizon 3.

In Horizon 2 we work out what is ours to repair and how to stop the harm together.

Horizon 1 is the nearest: - it is what we see here, the problem, the current way

Horizon 3 is the furthest (THINK EMERGENT): it is our hopes and dreams, our vision of what is possible. We can’t see things there- we are making guesses. We think this place includes new language, and words beyond day to day english (which represents horizon 1 and limits us). We may need to open ourselves up to try and hear and integrate new words and phrases.

Horizon 2 is in between: this contains the seeds of the horizon 3. Discovering ways of being, doing and becoming for these times. Here are the best ways humans are still living (indigenous communities). Here we are re-membering and re-claiming who we have been; we are de-schooling, de-colonising and de-growing our economy, minds, systems, institutions.

In Horizon 2 we work out what is ours to repair and how to stop the harm together.

“This is the hardest time to live, but it is also the greatest honor to be alive now, and to be allowed to see this time. There is no other time like now. We should be thankful, for creation did not make weak spirits to live during this time. The old ones say ‘this is the time when the strongest spirits will live through and those who are empty shells, those who have lost the connection will not survive.’ We have become masters of survival - we will survive - it is our prophecy to do so.”
