Questions to consider

The consequences of financial storms

"What will you do when food is twice as expensive as it is at this moment?"

Resource depletion

"What will you do when petroleum becomes three times as expensive as it is today? How will your nations function? How will people get around? What kind of businesses can survive in that environment?"

Human migration

"What will happen to cities when the glaciers that provide all of their water resources evaporate over the years? There will be great human migrations in the future because people have fled their homelands. Greater than any world war or human conflict will this human migration will this be."

"What will happen when regions of the world dry out so much that people cannot live there and must migrate to other nations that are already full of peoples? These nations will break down into war and conflict. More financial storms. More uncertainty. More fear. More flight. It is only the beginning."

"What will happen to all the people who must leave, even in the wealthy nations and their cities and their coastlines? Where will they go? What will they do, they, along with you and your recent ancestors, who have changed the climate of the world? As the icecaps melt, as the glaciers melt, as water becomes ever more precious and drought grows worldwide, these are the things that must be mitigated now while you still have a chance to do so. Do not think there are other problems that are more significant than this. Do not discount this."

Whole populations of people will be moving in the future as their lands dry out or become uninhabitable, a reality never seen in this world before at this scale. Where will the power come from? Where will the inspiration come from? Where will the inner strength and integrity come from to face such a world and to serve it in such a way that human unity can grow and human freedom can be preserved and expanded? It must come from this well that We speak of. It must come from God, who wills this for humanity. For this must happen now, for the alternative is far too grave to even speak of. It is driven by need. It is also driven by courage and honesty.”
