    Or probe more deeply into the local and specific repercussions

    of what 3° of warming will mean to us here in California.

    The projections are quite serious.

    But that is not the whole story, as Holly Buck noted in her perceptive and creative book, After

    Geoengineering: Climate Tragedy, Repair and Restoration. The repairs and restoration that Holly

    highlights in her book suggest another profoundly positive set of possibilities. The high capitalist,

    colonialist, White supremacist views that have dominated the world’s legal and financial systems for

    several generations, monetizing life itself, people, animals, and precious natural resources, have skewed

    our most basic approaches to living. We stand now at the summit of the most extreme levels of social

    inequality in the history of the planet. And the history of social injustice is deeply entwined with

    environmental injustice – the sites of greatest environmental degradation tend to be at or near the sites of

    greatest human degradation.

    The climate emergency is a wake-up call for our civilization, a

    message to human beings from the Earth: we are not living well.

    We are living very badly, out of balance with morality, with nature, and with ourselves. The planet is

    offering us an invitation to begin to live differently, in balance, with mindfulness, awareness, fairness,

    compassion, and generosity. We are being invited to recognize the equality of all people and all things.

    Perhaps the climate emergency carries deep and positive seeds

    of renewal. And repair. And restoration.
