“… The Shift in Human Nature

You're starting to see integrity change. Awareness recalibrates integrity, and the Human Being who would sit there and take advantage of another Human Being in an old energy would never do it in a new energy. The reason? It will become intuitive, so this is a shift in Human Nature as well, for in the past you have assumed that people take advantage of people first and integrity comes later. That's just ordinary Human nature.

In the past, Human nature expressed within governments worked like this: If you were stronger than the other one, you simply conquered them. If you were strong, it was an invitation to conquer. If you were weak, it was an invitation to be conquered. No one even thought about it. It was the way of things. The bigger you could have your armies, the better they would do when you sent them out to conquer. That's not how you think today. Did you notice?

Any country that thinks this way today will not survive, for humanity has discovered that the world goes far better by putting things together instead of tearing them apart. The new energy puts the weak and strong together in ways that make sense and that have integrity. Take a look at what happened to some of the businesses in this great land (USA). Up to 30 years ago, when you started realizing some of them didn't have integrity, you eliminated them. What happened to the tobacco companies when you realized they were knowingly addicting your children? Today, they still sell their products to less-aware countries, but that will also change.

What did you do a few years ago when you realized that your bankers were actually selling you homes that they knew you couldn't pay for later? They were walking away, smiling greedily, not thinking about the heartbreak that was to follow when a life's dream would be lost. Dear American, you are in a recession. However, this is like when you prune a tree and cut back the branches. When the tree grows back, you've got control and the branches will grow bigger and stronger than they were before, without the greed factor. Then, if you don't like the way it grows back, you'll prune it again! I tell you this because awareness is now in control of big money. It's right before your eyes, what you're doing. But fear often rules. …”

Climate plans may miss target, carbon tax for industry is an option

The 600 measures outlined in climate agreement, worked out by ministers, lobby groups and industry last year, may not be enough to reach the governments targets, according to research by the Dutch environmental assessment agency PBL and the macro-economic think-tank CPB.

The two bodies have calculated the impact of the plans – which range from phasing out the use of natural gas to subsidising electric cars – on the target to cut greenhouse gas emissions by 49% compared with 1990 in 11 years time.

The PBL says the plans will lead to a reduction in greenhouse gases of between 31 and 52 mega tons, which means the target of nearly 49 mega tons may not be reached. ‘This is because there are a lot of uncertainties in the agreement and in the way the public and industry will react to the measures,’ the agency said.

‘Political choices need to be made which will take away some of the uncertainties,’ the PBL said. The prime minister and economic affairs minister Erik Wiebes will respond to the findings later.

The CPB says the cost of the agreement will mount to between €1.6bn and €1.9bn, which is well below earlier estimates of €3.9bn.

The measures also indicate that people on low incomes will be harder hit than most, with their spending power going down 1.8% as a result of the new measures.

In the current planning, some 80% of the cost will be passed on to consumers. However, on Tuesday it emerged that ministers are more sympathetic to the idea of introducing a carbon tax on heavy industry.

And prime minister Mark Rutte said after the publication of the cost estimates that ministers would look into bringing in a ‘sensible carbon tax’ which would not lead to Dutch companies moving their operations elsewhere.

Critics

The climate agreement was published at the end of December after nine months of talks between the 300 organisations, lobby groups and private individuals.

Five separate groups worked on the plans, covering mobility, electricity, industry, agriculture and the built environment.

However, environmental groups and the FNV trade union refused to sign the agreement. Green groups are angry that industry won’t face a carbon tax, and the FNV says the impact on low income households will be too great.
