Here's a voice about GW and Gaia. It does not intend to compete with the copious "facts", "evidence", and "slants" available anywhere else on the 'net.
The summary is "Keep your pecker up, and let the Earth do its thing.
"
(But always remember that big corporations and internal combustion engines still suck anyway!)
What is the reality of global warming? What a silly question, it's the one you create of course! Whenever you find yourself faced with conflicting data in your daily experience, it's because you are choosing between probabilities.
To understand the reality of global warming, you must first understand a little of the reality of the Earth itself. This will be the briefest of summaries, and I am generalizing here for the sake of convienience so do not take what is written here as being etched in stone.

SystemMetaphor
The Earth, like you is a conscious entity, one who is well aware of all
the life forms on its surface, and it regularly shifts its energy in
an effort to balance all those forms. The Earth has a much greater
multidimensional awareness of itself, and will often move water, land
and even species across probable divides as it balances various aspects
of itself.
Trees, for example, don't experience linear time as you do. This is true for the Earth as well,
and it easily perceives the long term results of mankind's activities,
and makes its own choices and adjustments accordingly. The knowledge of
these adjustments is shared telepathically with all creatures on the
planet, including man. Every event, from the largest earthquake to the
smallest April shower, is known about in advance, and is participated in
willingly by those who experience it. You already know this consciously of course, but when 'tragedy strikes' you tend to jump into the drama emotionally and sacrifice that level of awareness.
For those who carry the belief that mankind is only harming the Earth
every minute of every day, they are sorely limited in their
viewpoints, and are deliberately blinding themselves to a more balanced
perspective. Most often, it is because they do not understand either
their own natural creativity or that of the planet itself. They will
argue that the planet would be best if we left it undisturbed, however
if that was what the Earth wanted, you would have disappeared from its
surface centuries ago.
For those who believe that mankind is only harmful, they should be
grateful that the consciousness of the Earth is not the precocious,
childish sort of personality which was often placed on your gods. The
Earth is of course far more rich and complex, and well beyond the
duality of male/female, and the role of Mother (or father). These are
common anthropomorphisms and misinterpretations by those who try to
understand this great being in a more familiar way.
For example, it senses, as your own statisticians do that the world
population is growing; and in response to this growth the Earth expands
its girth and raises its temperature ever so slightly. In most
probabilities, there will in fact be more and greener farmland on the
planet than there is right now. In these probabilities, Arctic ice will
retreat, but not completely disappear, nor will the Antarctic ice sheets
fully melt.
The polar ice caps have never been static, and you are only just
starting to become aware of their natural mini-cycles. Human beings are
not the only animals who create pollution, and the process of freezing
and melting over the centuries helps in the filtering and cleansing of
the planetary water. You might be surprised to learn that even during
the most intense Ice Ages on your planet, there have been times where
open water has flowed at or near the poles for several years at a time.
I will tell you now, to satisfy your own curiosity that concerning the
global climate, there are three major paths of probability which you are
currently on. On two of these paths, you will experience a slight rise
in the global mean temperature, however it will never come near the
hysteria that is being promoted even by your more 'respectable'
scientists. On the third path, the temperature will spike more quickly,
due to the influence of several naturally occurring events, but then
there will be a rather sharp correction as well.
Some Warming
On the most likely probable path, the one that you (John) are guided
towards right now, nothing in the way of 'major earth changes' happens
over the next century on your planet. There will be some warming, and the benefits of
this will be realized when mankind adapts. Coastlines will erode as they
always have, and in some areas people will need to move away, but they
will not be washed away unless they are too stubborn to acknowledge when
the water is washing over their feet!
There will still be hurricanes, tornadoes, earthquakes, volcanoes and
low lying areas will periodically be flooded, and people will continue
to die when they live in these areas. And people will continue to choose
to live in these areas, as they always have, and their inner selves
will know with certainty when storms and tsunamis are coming, and some
will step aside to drier ground, while others will rush headlong to be
in their path.
However, there will be no major re-structuring of the continents, all
the various maps that are being produced are metaphorical in nature and
not physical. You are at a crux of many probable paths, a rather intense
one similar in nature to the early 20th century in your history. Imagine
yourself poised at the edge of a diving board ready to jump. There are
those in the mass consciousness who are so afraid to jump that they want
to turn around and go back down the ladder. Many will eventually
overcome this fear, but this process will take 'time' from your waking
perspective. In the grand drama of your daily lives, it seems as if the
events of the world are grinding too slowly or even backwards at times.
Dramatic Melting
In the second, less likely path you will experience some of the drama of
global warming, including a dramatic melting of the ice caps and a loss
of some coastline areas. Even in this scenario, nothing is as dire as
many are making it out to be. For example, the North American continent
will still look essentially the same from space.
There are considerably more storms on this path, and physical wars on
your planet to match. In the United States, there is a near-civil war as
religious vs. secular forces reach a crisis point. There are pockets of
violence, but not all out war because in this reality it suddenly
becomes abundantly clear that there are far fewer religious zealots in
the United States than more rationally minded people.
In Europe, there is a split between old Europe, those countries which
have existed for centuries, and the 'new.' Those countries which have
been emerging since the end of the Soviet empire. Some of this split is
along religious lines, mirroring the secular vs. zealotism the United
States experiences. A second Union is attempted by these newer states,
however it does not hold together very long.
In both these paths, you will see the ultimate demise of religious
zealotism as a political power in your reality. In the second scenario,
it goes kicking and screaming into that good night, creating the weather
events as well. By 2030, more moderate minds are in control of all the
major governments on your planet. It is far from perfect, but the
beginnings of a unified vision for a healthy future develops.
Sudden Ice Age
In the third and least likely probable future, you experience a very
sudden ice age, as a handful of researchers have indicated. In some
cities around the world, entire populations are lost, literally frozen
over in a matter of hours. A full third of the human population is
killed within weeks, and there will be a continued die off for several
years to come.
In this new world, most governments have collapsed. The onset will be
far too fast for the infrastructures to adapt. Even those in tropical
areas are so dependent on global support, that once the full effects of
the new Ice Age are felt, their economies fall apart. It shouldn't be
too hard to see what beliefs lead to this extreme, here's a hint, you
can't spell frigid without 'rigid.' Rigid, unyielding beliefs lead one
down to survival modes, in which only the most limited thought patterns
are given creative power. In this world, survival is the only issue, and
this portion of human energy takes a step backward to re-evaluate itself
as it slowly grows to repopulate the Earth again.
In case you're wondering how likely these probabilities are, the first
one is 90% likely to occur in your current experience, the second 9.99%
and the final scenario .01%. There are of course many variations of
events within these scenarios, particularly the first one which has the
most potential for positive growth in the world.
Remember that you specifically asked about
GlobalWarming for this
session, thus I did not touch on your technological or spiritual
futures, there are of course some interesting paths ahead and I will
gladly comment on those in future sessions.
The easiest way to navigate probabilities is to maintain an open and
flexible perspective in all situations. When fear and doubt dominate
your thought patterns, you automatically close down those unseen paths
that might offer solutions. You must let yourself feel that a solution
exists, even if there's no indication of it. If you can say with
certainty about any situation, that you believe a 'solution will come
up' then you have already opened that door for a better opportunity to
manifest.

It is interesting to note that global temperatures were 10-15 degrees warmer in the age of the Dinosoars. If they’d evolved intelligence they’d want to keep it that way. On the other hand we need to stabilize the environment for ourselves. It is estimated that a 5% allocation of defense spending would significantly improve things. Regardless of our ideological beliefs, an stable environment would reduce
SocialUnrest hence the need for defense spending, this would create a
PositiveFeedbackLoop.
I'd prefer to see crazy being sold somewhere else.
