Vivienne’s Diary – 9.2.2021

The New York Times on February 4th published a Map of our world in twenty years: flooding, heat stress, water stress, wildfires, hurricanes + typhoons, sea level rise.
Emilie Mazzacurati founded Four Twenty Seven in October 2012 after Hurricane Sandy demonstrated that the lack of planning for climate impacts could bring even the most powerful financial institutions 2 their knees. Driven by the conviction that businesses have a critical role 2 play in building resilience if provided with the right tools + guidance, Four Twenty Seven offers science-driven risk analytics to investors, corporations, + governments.Well, business hasn’t changed its habits + this map projection for 2040 is way past the tipping point. It’s great that I read The New York Times International, it’s great that they printed this map. But there’s no transmission of fear and urgency – it’s in the Opinion section and it’s just treated like news, it’s what they don’t say. Once we pass the tipping point, we’ve had it. The planet will remain, but it will be a boiling desert with methane bombs + an atmosphere of sulphuric acid.There’s only one way 2 stop climate change (cc), follow the Manifesto. The Manifesto has concrete targets, but all other targets are virtual. The reality is I’m the only person with a plan to save the . Halt cc within 5 years.In order 2 save , we have 2 change . U can change yr life by changing yr targets: U get out what U put in. Follow yr deep interest + U will change. mine are intellectual. Change is radical. Read books, join the book club (Intellectuals Unite IoU – Read novels from the past: gain culture). Learn another language, words put together, ev. sentence is an idea which carries its history + a history of different cultures; it will change U. If I had my time again, I would study Latin, Greek + Chinese + learn calligraphy: they say it takes 30 years 2 become a master. Calligraphy (Gk. Kalos, beauty + GRAPHY). I look up everything in my dictionary, but I wouldn’t need 2 so much if I had studied Latin + Greek Calliope was the muse of poetry, Kalos = beauty, Ops = voice because in Greek theatre, poetry was sung + danced.Of course, we in London hope 2 go 2 the art galleries, concerts + theatre again. Still, during Covid, there aren’t enough hours in the day or night 2 do everything I desire: read + I’m also doing art for my exhibition 2 save the Rf. Everything I have just said reduces yr carbon footprint. U R not sucking up, U R putting in.Engage with . Switch 2 Green Energy. Cook yr own food health! My best tip 4 staying slim: I don’t have willpower so I don’t have breakfast, otherwise I’d start picking. I have now formed a habit. I don’t even think of food until 12 or 1. Children don’t eat late in the evening + need a breakfast. It is important 2 leave a good 12 hours after your last meal. Drink water, U can have black coffee + don’t eat even one nut. This means yr body processes everything U eat. The record 4 undigested food is 40 kilos of impacted clay in the colon – processed food is the worst. By the way my yoga teacher is Tom Logan: www.innerheartbeat.comWalk or bike if U can. Difficult right now but normally nobody in London needs a car except a taxi driver. Whatever U do, U don’t save the future by buying an electric car. I think Elon Musk has done more harm than good, but I have asked Dale Vince of Ecotricity 2 write a report on electric cars e.g. I heard their heavy batteries cause more pollution by churning asphalt on the roads.According to the Manifesto our targets R: change the economy 2 . Halt cc = stop war, save the Rf., save the ocean. Climate Revolution has begun work on all this. But the spearhead is Stop War. If not, then we won’t reach our other targets; everything is connected. We will not reach our target of 5 years + it will be 2 late.
