We will either come together to address global warming or we will likely disappear as a civilization. To come together we must know our place, not in a hierarchical sense, but in a biological and cultural sense, and reclaim our role as agents of our continued existence. We are surfeited with metaphors of war, such that when we hear the word “defense,” we think attack, but the defense of the world can be accomplished only by unifying, listening, and working side by side.
