June 2016 – EARTH CRISIS –
We have reached a critical and stupendous time in human history.
Nations are facing an unprecedented set of perils that will prove
extremely challenging surmounting: climate change, geological upheaval,
regional and global conflicts, global debt and economic chaos, new
disease threats, environmental sustainability issues, the proliferation
of radical new ideologies, and social challenges arising from the rapid
pace of innovation coming on the heels of dramatic population shifts
across the globe. Futurist author Alvin Toffler wrote about this in
1970, labeling the phenomenon something he called ‘Future Shock – the
psychological disorientation of individuals and entire societies
arising from “too much change in too short a period of time.”
As our resources wane, the planet
becomes more geologically unsettled, societies become more polarized
from ideological differences, the gap between the haves and the
have-nots widens, and our collective will to tackle the difficult issues
confronting our planet erodes, each of us will be confronted with new
life-altering dilemmas as time progresses. We think it prudent to advise
you to begin preparations for the series of crises that lie immediately
ahead in mankind’s future.
