1)Health
Climate crisis is treated to be otherwise than our personal health threathened by virus.
2)Far away in future
Climate is experienced as far away in the future. But todays floods, droughts, storms, bushfires are linked to climate crisis. Allthough it is harder to visualise the danger consequences of climate change for each of us.
Allthough these two differences between corona and climate - the two crisis has similarity in that they hurt planet and people.
Imagine what if
we felt the same emergency about climate crisis as about corona crisis? What actions would be taken? What if the governments decided climate emergency and used similar measures as against corona?
Our insight from the corona crisis, is that:
*what we let people do as single persons and consumers are too weak a measure towards an emergency crisis,
*the goverments, national states, in fact, defined corona emergency,
*the goverments, national states, defined corona emergency,
*and grasped, took necessary emergency measures to STOP IT,
*and used daily best time TV campaign to reach the target.
What hinders imagination?
Ideas that it is impossible because of economy, jobs, old thinking pattern, habits. These ideas happens in our thinking brain network (Central Executive Network, CEN).
In order to imagine, we need to access our imagination, visualisation, fantasy brain network (Default Mode Network, DMN).
Imagination brain exercise
First step is to stress down, relax from our thinking ideas of economic impossibility.
An effective way is to yawn, stretch superslowly your stiff neck, shoulder, breathe deep, relax, and observe without judging, defending, attacking - the ideas and feelings around corona measures. Play the similar measures as in corona may inspire climate action. As you play you use your visualisation ability mixed with your creative problem solving ability. They both are in your imagination brain network.
