Global Warming is Caused By Ego
Anything one does against the flow of nature generates heat. Even a refrigerator generates heat. A heater obviously generates heat. Anything done in against ‘what is’, generates heat. Heat and warming is kind of a metaphor which Nature is asking us to realise. CO2 captures heat. The CO2 which we exhale. Stress makes the head heated up. Your body heats up when it resists the microbes. Muscles heat up when one is exercising. Our existence generates heat, and it is destructive. But existence of what?
Is a monkey existing in the wild causing any Heat? Nope! It is this “evolved” monkey that thought of being something beyond the Jungle, that’s what is causing the Heat. The Desire within this Human Being is causing the Heat. The Desire to be beyond the Jungle.

But I also don’t think that getting out of the Jungle is the problem. It is the confusion of what to Desire. Something is there about the Human Being that never gets satisfied. Unlike a monkey which is happy with its stomach full once in a while, Human Being isn’t satisfied with a full stomach.
A Human is confused as to what to Desire! So confused that it starts stuffing itself with anything and everything that comes on the way. But evolution gave this Human certain tendencies, for example: storing energy and liking food which stores energy, which includes sugar consumption. That was purely for the survival of the Human body. But the Human, while clearly not just the Body wants something beyond the Body. The Body still belongs to the Jungle. While the intellectual part, the Mind, wants to get out of it.
Human is confused between the Desires of the Mind and the Body. Once this confusion is settled, a lot of problems will be solved.
I’ll write later expanding on this.
