We Live in an Age of Consequences
We Live in an Age of Consequences
(Image by Sophie Robinson)
  Details   DMCA
For man holds in his mortal hands the power to abolish all forms of human poverty and all forms of human life. President Kennedy could have included all life on earth. Why?

Why do corporate conservatives deny the threat of their nuclear products simmering deep in the earth? Because we increase dependency on Nestle's privatized water and faith in Clean Coal, Fracking and Exxon didn't know?

Could the hyperlink connecting two dozen GOP senators cutting off hundreds of millions in contributions to the United Nations' Green Climate Fund and billionaire hatred for Collectivism be, terror of our connecting the dots between west coast drought, Texas floods, mid-west tornadoes, radically vacillating temperatures, post Congress careers and corporate bottom-lines?

Why do Republican Senators vote against aid for Flint children drinking lead laden water, while bringing snowballs to Congress in support of Climate Change denial.

Are they really oblivious to the clones of Three Mile Island, Flint and Baltimore? Is not the degree to which Koch heads change the earth, determining how Climate Change accelerates income disparity, social instability and catalysts for conflict?

Did you know, while Conservative fears focus on invasions of privacy, Climate influenced weather changes are changing depths for U. S. Navy in Virginia?

Why the sting between the EPA prepping for major protections for bee populations and grumpy old men, like Senator Jim Inhofe attempting to block any such bank-like bailout for bees -- denying any science linking neonicotinoids to bee deaths?

Whether a ninth Supreme tips to Scalia or Justices Elena Kagan, Sonia Sotomayor and Ruth Bader Ginsburg, we hold earth's life, in how we live ours.

Though Too Big to Jail puppeteers have tugged their congressional puppets too far Red to avoid an apocalypse of their own making, it is not a time for suicide or withdrawal, but rather reactivated rejuvenation! Replace old white men who've raped earth, with women, artists and those on whose backs America was built.

We are at the very pinnacle of potential and evaporation -- of recapturing the essence of existence or succumbing to the Pride of human failure to see we are but one piece of the mosaic. Risking national destruction by the wrath of religious zealots, politically succumbing to the envy of mob-rule and wallowing in selfie gluttony, we give into the sloth of social media, lusting after Likes & Followers.

Even before Jared P. Scott's The Age of Consequences, makes its world premiere May 1, 2016 at Hot Docs Film Festival, Executive Producer and Director of Outreach, Sophie Robinson gave us hope -- insisting while we can't yet imagine what can be done to save us from Abrupt Climate Change, every potential calamity faced by humankind, was faced not knowing how we would conquer it, until we did.

So why, since August 6, 1945, has humanity repeatedly chosen to follow the loudest, rabble-rousing, inciting to violence, angry men, like Hitler, Joe McCarthy, Boris Johnson and Donald Trump?

We now live in the Age of Consequences , the time of The Bomb , but still in denial, we dare Global Warming to accelerate Climate Change. Isn't it smarter to preserve a more harmonious relationship with Mother Nature?

Truth is, though historically silenced, women have led humanity with reason and accountability, inspiring social awareness, social justice and social change. Perhaps before the changes made to earth by men, change the order of all life upon it, we need to kick off the dusty ideas of angry old men and face our wacked world's woes, revitalized with the spirit of our feminine side.

Let's emulate Mary Magdalene, Native American Apache priestess Lozen, Saint Hildegard von Bingen, Christina de Pizan (influencing women like Catherine D' Medici, Mary Queen of Scots and Elizabeth I), Irish Pirate Chief Grace O'Malley (who negotiated peace treaty with Elizabeth I directly), Roxelana of the Ottoman Empire, Jane Austen, Harriet Tubman, Alice Paul, Anne Frank, Myah Angelou, Meryl Streep, Oprah, J. K. Rowling, Viola Davis, The United States Women's National Soccer Team, Nancy Reagan, Huma Abedin, Senator Elizabeth Warren Congressional candidate Jane Dittmar, Hillary Clinton and twenty-seven year old, Sophie Robinson.
