United Nations: Climate change and conflict take centre stage

With nearly all the world’s leaders in London for the queen's funeral, it was an unusual start to this year’s United Nations General Assembly in New York City.
But with crises ranging from the war in Ukraine to climate change, and a looming world recession, there was no lack of urgency to proceedings.

Have we crossed the point of no return in terms of damaging the planet? There is no such point. We need to trust that our thought, which is our greatest quality, can change nature. We only need to understand the direction to which we should aim our thoughts. What should we think about? What condition or state should we aspire to and ask for?
In order to save our planet, we should think about positive human connections. That is, how can we, in our connections, keep nature safe? How can we all together protect our world? If we truly wish to better our planet, then we should see people holding a concern for how to positively connect everywhere that we look.
It has nothing to do with recycling or other activities that we commonly associate with as being sustainable. If we come closer to and consider each other, that we will reach an entirely organic, perfectly connected and round state, then the negative forces will disappear from the world.
We need to understand that if we start thinking better about each other, then the planet will recover from all harm, because our thoughts are the strongest force in nature. Likewise, our negative thoughts about each other are entirely to blame for damaging the planet. That is why the more we recycle and invest in energies and activities that we commonly think of as being sustainable, the worse our planet becomes. Nothing will work to benefit us until we reach a state where our attitude changes toward each other for the better to protect and improve our planet..

The "poet" frightened me. Climate changes are all Humans' responsibility. I also believe We waited far too long to be "challenged" to clean up our garbage.

Since every third tree species is currently under threat and temperatures will keep on rising: we really need to fix how we live and how our global industry & enonomy works.

Not a word about the root cause of the real PROBLEM in Africa which is OVERPOPULATION.
