e position in the climate change debate. It is almost as if, simply by demonstrating their supposed credentials and commitment, the ‘answer’ and with it salvation, will be found. The ‘solutions’ to climate change repeatedly proferred by Western leaders, think-tanks and board rooms – technical fixes, managerial reorganisations and diktats from on high - recall the workings and mindset of defunct communist regimes. Put aside political ideology, however, and the notion that technocratic, scientific and political elites have’the answers’ by dint of their societal standing, practically ensures that the one thing rarely opened up to further examination is what drives their self-referential interests, values, hierarchies, mores, or - for that-matter - epistemologies, in the fist place. Even less discussed is the possibility that it might be exactly these imperatives which are acting as an intertial brake on meaningful action, or, worse still, lie at the very not of why we are in these dire straits. Mark Levene & David Cromwell June 2007 BE ASSURED our new masters of the globe are saying to us “rest assured we are not intent on destroying the world, but doing everything in our power to save it.” But the truth is that we most all individually and collectively question that assumption; and must do so by challenging the social, economic and political parameters within which these diverse elite actors (celebrities of al) assume a basis for action (or inaction) on climate change. The essential inadequacy of the elite postion rests on an unwillingness, indeed inability, to accept anthropogenic climate change as an inevitable consequence of their self-interested obsession with the need for ever continuing growth of our globalising economic system. Only by rethinking the operating premises of that are we likely to have any chance of moving towards a safer and more sustainable future.

economics are structured in the opposite direction, to promote the growth of production and consumption regardless of their negative impact. How do we surmount this dilemma?
The Solution:
Obviously what's needed is for us, collectively, to stop and think about what we're doing …and to restructure our economics and politics. This is surprisingly easy to do. The Wisdom Council provides a way that a few people can facilitate all the people into the necessary "We the People" conversation. This social invention provides an amazingly simple path with no identifiable risk. But the benefits are immense, including the prospect of:
Involving ordinary people in facing the issues, building their understanding, creating a new shared vision of what "We" want, and designing a widely supported way to get there.
Establishing a new system of thinking … where We the People engage one another respectfully and creatively and provide leadership to governments.
Avoiding wars and international conflicts.
Celebrating and supporting individual and cultural diversity and building the spirit of global community.
Living by human values like trust and service, instead of corporate values like profits and maximizing personal wealth
Dramatically improving the systems by which we live, including education, health care, finance, taxes, justice, and democracy

TION that will mark the beginning of the cultural revolution which IS in[DEED] desperately needed to establish a radically different globally significant SOCIAL and ECONOMIC STRUCTURE, commensurate with the AXIOMS which Colin Mason so poignantly proposed in his epic work A SHORT HISTORY OF THE FUTURE ...Axiom 1 Useful change is likely to come only if it can provideas, equal, obvious and general a benefit as possible
Axiom 2If proposed solutions don't take the lowest common denominators of human nature realistically into account, they will not work

hat if you morphed them to create autonomous communities that have the ability to connect globally - symbiotically? And what if those autonomous communities implemented their own form of value exchange and governance that were interdependent on surrounding (globally) autonomous communities? What would you call them? Charter Cities and Communities. These Communities would be resilient to climate change because they would produce their own foods, buildings, and energy. Without relying on a centralized grid or system to do so. Yet they would be able to share their goods and services globally. Could these Charter Communities be a significant first step to transforming humanity toward a regenerative and benevolent society? Could they also set precedence for how Humans would exist in Space and the Universe? Do they fulfill the recommendations of the Wisdom Traditions and Thought Leaders throughout history to build new systems that makes the old ones obsolete? Yes. Are they the be-all, end-all solution, no. But they are a tangible start. And that is what we need. Some type of platform to build upon. One that is chartered to be regenerative with a foundational value for life itself.
