The debate's is over, now it is up to us to mobilize and act quickly, very quickly

T

he debate about whether or not humans have disrupted the world’s climate system is over, the facts are in and yes, unless we act quickly and decisively, humanity is heading toward trying times.



Per Espen Stoknes - he has
considered the intellectual
challenges of global warming.

However, reiterating the facts to illustrate what we have done and so what is happening has been shown to be not enough, not near enough.

Whether it be ideology or a deeper psychology malaise, few of us (and I include myself in this) have demonstrated sufficient intellectual and physical courage, for many reasons, to be a stalwart of the human mobilization required to match the unfolding dilemma poised to change life on earth.

University of Oslo educated psychologist, Per Espen Stoknes, who has also studied organizational theory, philosophy and mythology, has set out to untangle the psychology puzzle as to why we struggle with the acceptance of global warming.

The clinical and organizational psychologist and holds a senior lecturer position at BI Norwegian School of Management, has written about this  malady in his new book, “What We Think About When We Try Not To Think About Global Warming: Toward a NewPsychology of Climate Action”.

An excerpt from the April published book is published by Alternet in a story headed: “How We Can Use Psychology To Help Fight Climate Change”.
