<\/iframe><\/p>\nNow, you might wonder why climate comes to mind at a time when so many other crises consume our attention: the pandemic, the economic meltdown, and all that surrounds the horrific murder of George Floyd.<\/p>\nAbout fifteen years ago, I was working with climate scientists on a project. It was my second time. And, in the course of a meeting, one day, one of them made an off-handed comment that triggered a real and traumatic epiphany for me.<\/p>\nIt was as if she\u2019d flipped a switch without even knowing it, and I suddenly realized just how far into this changing world we have already come, and that there was no going back.<\/p>\nAll of the risks and impacts and horrors and grief for what\u2019s been lost that I\u2019d thought were still far away were suddenly present and alive in that room.<\/p>\nAnd, I found it difficult to breathe. But there was no turning away. Not from something like that. And, out of all the troubles that it foretold, the one that still stands out above anything else is that climate change isn\u2019t really one crisis at all.<\/p>\nIt gives us multiple crises all at once. They compound and recur, and together, they can overwhelm people and communities and entire societies. Fires and floods, plus heat waves and smog, drought and storms, pests, extinctions, crop failures, economic collapse, failed states, you know the list, and it goes on.<\/p>\nNot all of it, not all the time, and not everywhere all at once. At least, not yet. But these things do happen in combinations already. They cause a lot of harm, especially in low income communities; especially in communities of color.<\/p>\nThese crises can force people to migrate, often in poverty, and often to places where they are not welcome; places where the people already feel stressed themselves.<\/p>\nSo, when I look around at what\u2019s happening this spring, it\u2019s easy to think, hey, welcome to our dress rehearsal.<\/p>\nOne crisis is compounding another and forcing people to make tough choices. For some, there is rush to authoritarianism, a desire to amass and protect power and wealth, and there\u2019s a cult of personality that props it up.<\/p>\nThere\u2019s impatience and indignation, and hostility and violence. There is outright denial.<\/p>\nAnd there is also courage and self-sacrifice, and stories of kindness and generosity.<\/p>\nKind of the whole package, really, like we see ourselves reflected in the world around us.<\/p>\nSo, what shall we do?<\/p>\nQuestions of privilege and adversity recur for me from time to time. In my twenties, I lived in a part of central Los Angeles where the African American, Hispanic and Vietnamese communities all converged. The summers were brutal. They were hot, smoggy and relentless, and nobody had any money. I remember thinking that I\u2019m white and male and educated, and I had options that a lot of my old neighbors still don\u2019t have.<\/p>\nAnd, in that climate epiphany, it occurred to me that I live in the wealthiest society on earth; a society where we have means that others just don\u2019t have.<\/p>\nAnd we\u2019re living in multiple crises.<\/p>\nI should confess that I\u2019ve developed a perverse curiosity about the rationales people use to avoid solving the climate crisis. One says that we can\u2019t really do anything about it because it\u2019s too big and we\u2019re too small. The good news, I guess, is that we\u2019ve just seen the world turn on a dime and shelter in place. Who thought that could ever happen?<\/p>\nAnother one says that we shouldn\u2019t act until other countries act. The good news, there, is that the whole world just proved it can react in unison. It\u2019s been messy, but it\u2019s also been fast.<\/p>\nAnd, there are those who say we can\u2019t solve climate change because it might put our economy at risk. Well, enough said.<\/p>\nSo, what shall we do?<\/p>\nWhat do you think would happen if we decided not to believe any of these ideas? What if, instead, we decided solving climate change is easy? What can we do then?<\/p>\n\u00a0<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>We can ban fossil fuels or tax them so much that nobody wants to buy them. That would flood the market with cheaper, cleaner products. Economists like this idea a lot.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\u00a0<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>We can invest more in clean energy tech.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\u00a0<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>We can give incentives for things like electric cars, which are getting cheaper already.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\u00a0<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>We can reorganize cities so we wouldn\u2019t have to drive around so much.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\u00a0<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>We can even be generous toward developing countries and help them make faster and more just transitions too.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\u00a0<\/p>\nIn other words, people know how to do this stuff. We might not follow any of these steps exactly, but there\u2019s no great mystery to where the path leads or how to follow it.<\/p>\nSo, what about you and me? What can we do if we decide we can solve the climate crisis ourselves?<\/p>\n\u00a0<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>We can talk about it as much as we talk about COVID-19 and racism. Talking just breaks the ice and it brings everything to the forefront to be solved.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\u00a0<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>We can vote for people based on their climate platforms and whether we think they\u2019d make good crisis managers. Not many of us do this, and politicians know it.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\u00a0<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>And, we can cut our own carbon emissions for the same reasons we wear face masks. We can do it for others and to show that this is important to everyone. Turns out it\u2019s pretty: we\u2019d just find ways to buy less gas and buy less electricity. Let me know if you need ideas.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\u00a0<\/p>\nThat\u2019s the list. It\u2019s pretty simple. So, what shall we do?<\/p>\nThere some interesting literature on how people respond to emergencies like a first aid crisis or being adrift at sea, and it turns out that not everybody is very good at it.<\/p>\nThe same is true for slow-moving emergencies like COVID-19 and climate change, where we know there\u2019s real danger, but everything around us still looks more or less OK.<\/p>\nSome people just feel uncomfortable getting involved. They might not have the temperament or the skills to help us out. That\u2019s OK. I\u2019ve been in emergencies with people who don\u2019t want to help. Forcing or shaming doesn\u2019t work. It seems better to let them be or give them something to do that doesn\u2019t make them feel awkward.<\/p>\nThe idea that everybody has to share the same actions or beliefs, or knowledge or values is just another myth.<\/p>\nThen there are people who get overwhelmed by the strong emotions that emergencies trigger, such as fear and rage and the panic that leads to despair. These are exhausting emotions. They wear people out. Exhaustion almost always leads to bad decisions or to just giving up, and that makes things worse.<\/p>\nSome of the people who respond this way are also naysayers who object and disbelieve, often very loudly, which makes them a distraction too. But trying to persuade naysayers is a waste of time for everybody. It seems better to ignore what they\u2019re saying and try to make them feel heard, and as comfortable as they can be.<\/p>\nBut there are people who have the experience and training and perspective to respond much differently. They see an emergency for what it really is, not through a cloud of rage and despair, or through rose-colored glasses.<\/p>\nThey don\u2019t get overwhelmed by emotions. In fact, they tend to put the power of emotions to work in constructive ways. They make smart choices, even if the steps can only be very small, and they keep on making smart choices over and over again as events unfold.<\/p>\nAnd there\u2019s one other thing too. It\u2019s that people who respond well almost always do it for the sake of somebody else. It might be someone in particular, like a spouse or a child, or it might be for the sake of others in general.<\/p>\nWho does this? According to the literature, some people gain these skills and perspectives through lots of different kinds of experiences. Coping in crises becomes a lifestyle, and a practice of engaging with the moment.<\/p>\nI find this intriguing in light of meditation practice. I mean, here I sit, practicing the relaxed presence to experience this moment, just as it is. Strong emotions and enthralling ideas, and that grasping thing that we all do; these happen all the time. And some of my thoughts seem so insightful, and some are just distracting, I get lost in them, and then I don\u2019t, and I know that none of them are the \u201ctruth.\u201d Right?<\/p>\nI don\u2019t mean to suggest that meditation practice boils down to emergency response training. We gain those skills mostly in other ways. But here on the cushion, we do practice being present. We practice witnessing our reactions without being attached to their content, and we practice being fully present in the reality we find ourselves in, whether it\u2019s pleasant or not.<\/p>\nI like this because we\u2019re going to be dealing with climate change for the rest of our lives. We are going to experience tragedies and suffering, over and over again.<\/p>\nIf we make this challenge our own, we experience triumph and joy too.<\/p>\nAnd the so-called \u201cnew normal\u201d that we hear so much about is constantly going to change, and change again, and again, and again for longer than we\u2019re alive.<\/p>\nWhen it all hit me in that moment of epiphany, I couldn\u2019t help but ask a scientist, \u201cHow do you cope with knowing what you know?\u201d<\/p>\nThere have been times, ever since, when I\u2019ve wondered if I\u2019ve wandered down some strange, imaginary crisis rabbit hole that isn\u2019t even real. That\u2019s like asking, \u201cCan I please just set this whole thing aside and not have to deal with it anymore? Can I go back to my life as it was before I knew all this? Can the pandemic be over now? Can Mr. Floyd please go home and see his family again?\u201d<\/p>\nWe know the answers.<\/p>\nThere\u2019s a sweet little story in a book about surviving emergencies that speaks to me in moments like this. A light plane crashed in the Sierra Nevada some years ago, and the only survivor was a young woman. The pilot and her fianc\u00e9 both died in the crash, and she had to climb down off a rocky peak and hike for miles with a broken arm and nothing but high heels and a light summer dress.<\/p>\nThat\u2019s not the sweet part. The sweet part is that along the way, she found herself on a ledge above one of those gorgeous high Sierra basins. There was a pool of water on that ledge, so she got undressed and washed up and soaked for a while, and then she sat in the sun to dry off. She spent some time just enjoying the silence and the sunshine and the beauty before getting dressed again and hiking out of the mountains. She made it.<\/p>\nShe made it, partly, because she was able to surrender to her predicament. Most crisis survivors do. She could appreciate the beauty and even feel grateful in the midst of a life-threatening tragedy.<\/p>\nFrom what I understand, <a href='https:\/\/www.patheos.com\/library\/buddhism' target='_blank'>Buddhism<\/a> throughout the centuries has largely been disengaged from crises like these. Not exclusively, I\u2019m sure, but the Buddha\u2019s teachings were delivered to a community of seekers who renounced the world.<\/p>\nThat\u2019s not where we live. Our moment is different. We are living in a time of multiple, compounding crises. It\u2019s been going on for a while too; the Great Recession, hurricanes, wildfires, mass extinction, COVID-19 and systemic racism. We can solve these things, too, or at least the harshest parts.<\/p>\nAnd, this practice seems suited to where I live.<\/p>\nIf I make these crises my crises \u2014 and if we make them our problems and not somebody else\u2019s problems to solve \u2014 then other people will start feeling comfortable doing something about them too.<\/p>\nIf my life, as messy as it is, can be responsive to these emergencies, if I can surrender to them and find ways to be constructive and happy, then constructive and compassionate action will belong to a larger and growing community of people.<\/p>\nWho knows, there might be liberation in these emergencies too. The sunrise is almost always beautiful. The climate impacts are almost always tragic. We know exactly what to do about them. It\u2019s not very complicated.<\/p>\nAnd, we know who to do it for.<\/p>\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/ddLd0QRf7Vg\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 Zen & Solving the Climate Crisis?
