Climate Change is not the same as Climate Disruption.

Climate Disruption - The word 'Change' is a Euphemism.

'Climate Change' is a deliberate Euphemism.

It's akin to saying punching someone in the face and breaking a nose and some teeth, drawing blood, tearing flesh and causing concussion is changing a face - it is a destructive disruption of the face, a deliberate disruption.

Murdoch, a well known professional political grooming gangster - a disruptor, and a Climate Disruption denier.


Climate Change is not the same as Climate Disruption.
I fell foul of the euphemism of Climate Change for over a decade. Did you also fall for this deliberate abuse of language?

In 1985 Carl Sagan testified to the Congress of The United States Federal Government on The Greenhouse Effect. Here is part of his testimony, under oath, to tell the truth as he understood it.

What stikes me in this clip is his assertion that effective global action must come from a place of amity between all States, and that such amity was not present, and as such is a hinderance to effective action on prevention, protection and repair of harms caused. Climate Disruption demands the ending of the Militaristic competing powers dynamic, if we as a human culture are to meet the challenges ahead. Mr. Sagan was 110% correct.

I was truly unaware. I did not know. 

That lack of knowledge and understanding meant that as the 2000s rolled in I included the possibility that Climate Change was driven by the variations associated with the activity of the Sun, as much as that industrial activity Sagan referred to. 
It meant that I considered other long term variations as potential drivers of the changes our scientists and others are measuring and which we are now living through.
It meant I was unable (unwilling) to focus in on the fact that it's not precise to say 'human activity' is driving Climate Disruption, that in fact it is industrial activity at scale, grounded in externalising costs from material resourcing through production, consumption and end of life disposal, as the base of it's profitability that is driving climate disruption. Industrial profit evades the responsibility of mitigating harms caused by it's activity in order to be profitable. We must all pay the price. Collective responsibility.

Permaculturists are not driving climate disruption. 
Not all humans are engaged in industrial activity. 360 million indigenous, non developed people alive today (current estimates) are not involved in driving industrial activity, indeed their cultures and ways of living with the lands they inhabit are facing extinction as a direct result of industrial expansion, which is always seeking access to more cheap raw materials and cheap labour as a means to an end - maximising Wealth Extraction.
I think we need to use the term 'Disruption' because it is more accurate and helps focus the mind on what is being done. Since the 1980s when the issues of pollution, environmental degradation and CO2 adverse effect on the atmospheric homeostasis were confirmed, that disruption could no long be said to be accidental. It is deliberate.

The meaning of the disruption and it's impact was ignored in favour of Wealth Extraction.
It is that the chosen behaviour of ignoring and otherwise evading the costs imposed by industrial practices (and the costs of environmental degradation, warfare, racism, misogyny, poverty) that is key to a grounded understanding of the situation, an understanding that we need to fully grasp.

Manipulation of public perceptions is evil.

Yet again we see the evidence that Externalising Costs is the industrial cultures practice this falls under - 'we don't really care about the costs imposed, how those afflict people, or the environment,  we are continuing to extract wealth, and will use all power at our disposal to continue to do so, including manipulating people's perceptions.'.

I spent some time worrying about my 'carbon footprint, and castigating car drivers (I detest the combustion engine) for their much larger 'carbon footprint. I was an early adopter of recycling and repurposing plastics in my home. Yeah. I did not understand that I was being manipulated into a meaningless action designed to give the Oil Wealth Extraction Oligarchs more time to extract more oil from the ground and more wealth from us all.
The intentionality of BP promoting 'Carbon Footprint' to make consumers feel a combination of guilt and hope, the deviousness of Du Pont promoting plastics recycling rather than alter their production to minimise pollutants, in order to maintain and expand Wealth Extraction are genuine examples of evil.
Climate Change is not the same as Climate Disruption.

Disruption is intentional. It is intentional when one knows ones behaviour is causing a disruption. When a forest is cut down, so that Farming Corporations can grow beans to feed cattle, the environment is disrupted. They know this. When a Oil well leaks oil into the environment that disrupts the environment. They know this. When Plastic Particulates are littering our rivers and oceans, our snow capped mountains, and can be found on our blood and our food - that is disruption. And they know this. They knew all this long before anyone else. They had the science to prove it. And they did nothing to reduce the disruption.

When war is waged, that is disruption. They know this and still they do it.

Misogyny is disruption, Racism is disruption. They know this and still they do it.

So our work is to prevent the disruption. And then help the disrupted areas to recover.
This is not work to do by half measures, and it is work all of us need to become fully engaged with. It will not impoverish us, it will enrich all our lives. Failure to do so will betray all our descendants.
