"The Aanimad Assertion on Climate Change"


The Aanimad Assertion on Climate Change is a series of about 30 statements that lead to some unique and provocative conclusions about Climate Change.  The assertion can be summarized by the following three statements:

  1. Biosustainability REQUIRES negative feedback.

  2. Fossil fuels and number-based value systems have resulted in humans neutralizing nature's usual negative feedback mechanisms.

  3. Climate Change IS the missing negative feedback.

You can read the full Assertion here.  If correct, this assertion has profound consequences for how we should address Climate Change, and what else we should be doing.
