<p><strong>I. Consider Two Definitions:</strong></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p><strong><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Global_warming" target="”blank”">Global warming</a></strong> refers to an unequivocal and continuing rise in the average temperature of Earth's climate system. Since 1971, 90% of the warming has occurred in the oceans. It is extremely likely (95-100%) that human influence has been the dominant cause of the observed warming since the mid-20th century.</p>
<p></p>
<p>A <strong><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Meme" target="”blank”">meme</a></strong> is "an idea, behavior, or style that spreads from person to person within a culture." A meme acts as a unit for <strong>carrying cultural ideas, symbols, or practices</strong> that can be transmitted from one mind to another. Memes spread through the behavior that they generate in their hosts. Memes that propagate less prolifically may become extinct, while others may survive, spread, and (for better or for worse) mutate.</p>
<p></p>
<p><strong>II. Web of evolution of connected memes resulting in Global Warming Meme:</strong></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p>The Global Warming meme is a Global Meme – made of smaller events, protests and political shenanigans. Chaos in society has increased from 1950 to present as have the number of memes. While some Small Memes are more important than others, all are inter-connected – like the World Wide Web. As the graphic illustrates, memes can be film-based, political-based, government-based, business or grassroots-based memes.</p>
<p></p>
<p>Whether one small meme is more important in the development of the Global Warming Meme is debatable.</p>
<p></p>
<p>Please see the <strong><a href="http://communityalchemy.com/GWmeme/GWmeme.pdf" target="”blank”">meme map attached</a></strong> (.pdf)</p>
<p></p>
<p><strong>III. The Global Warming Meme Story:</strong></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p>Life Cycle of a Meme:</p>
<p></p>
<p>1. <strong>Inception</strong> - combination of science, commercial trends and spirit = community alchemy</p>
<p></p>
<p>2. <strong>Diffusion</strong> - memes are linked to habits and brands and are assimilated by communities</p>
<p></p>
<p>3. <strong>Morphing</strong> - a sort of social DNA mixing, changes occur and new memes are created from old ones</p>
<p></p>
<p>4. <strong>Integration</strong> – finally memes get “stuck” and become political cliques, song titles, or names for babies and Start-ups</p>
<p></p>
<p><strong>IV. Discussion and Value of Memes</strong></p>
<p></p>
<p>Memes are “disruptors “or early warnings of chaotic behavior. Of course, memes equally arise out of current chaos (war protests and the PEACE symbol). Memes are Small Data (re: Wilderness Act in 1964) that can combine to form Big Data (Global Warming Meme in 2014 and Peak Oil in 2018).</p>
<p></p>
<p>Memes are about specific events, but also about building overall awareness, challenging and integrating new values into the next Big Meme. <strong>Memes are evolutionary agents.</strong></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p>Memes are often the “trend” before the trends arise. Best and strongest memes embedded in cultural dialog. Memes could be experienced as archetypes. It is possible that memes contribute to our dreams and help to predict future memes, movements, more disruption and global chaos.</p>
<p></p>
<p><strong>V. Future Memes:</strong></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p>1. Memes are the building blocks for new stories and myths.</p>
<p></p>
<p>2. The inception and diffusion patterns of memes should support the argument that they are predictors of future behaviors. Thoughts?</p>
<p></p>
<p>3. Are there any new memes “under the Sun?”</p>
<p></p>
<p>4.

<p>“To me ritual is the sacred art of stopping, listening and being. Whether we gather as a group to celebrate and connect, to share the inspiration of tribe or dance in the insanity of personal connection and vision. Ritual allows the humdrum of perceived normality to collapse beneath delicious connection as we reach out to our inspiration, to our ancestors and the spirits of place. Ritual is that place outside of time where we express the connection between tribe and land.” <a href="http://druidnetwork.org/what-is-druidry/elements-of-ritual/point-ritual/" target="”blank”">Kris Hughes</a></p>
<p></p>
<p><strong>Please don’t tell me the seasons are gone?</strong></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p>*******</p>
<p></p>
<p>“<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Season" target="”blank”">A season</a> is a subdivision of the year, marked by changes in weather, ecology, and hours of daylight. Seasons result from the yearly revolution of the Earth around the Sun and the tilt of the Earth's axis relative to the plane of revolution. In temperate and polar regions, the seasons are marked by changes in the intensity of sunlight that reaches the Earth's surface, variations of which may cause animals to go into hibernation or to migrate, and plants to be dormant.”</p>
<p></p>
<p>In a very few years, when the planet is de-oiled, super-parched, and seed toxic, our Gaian lover will turn into an unforgiving “blister master”, and the notion of <strong>four romantic seasons</strong>, including the fall harvest and the Thanksgiving celebration, will be deleted from our post-digital brains.</p>
<p></p>
<p><strong>The Endless Dry Season</strong></p>
<p></p>
<p>Given that the traditional four seasons are tied to the Growing Cycle: Composting, Seed Planting, Weeding / Watering and Harvest, a dry parched planet will no longer express or support this organic dance. A terrifying mono season is coming that is only dry and hot. Any artistic ritual that boils up from this egg fry might include displays of shedding, cave dwelling and theatric stages with mock cooling winds.</p>
<p></p>
<p>A Sun-torched planet will cook our eyes, ears, throats and skin forcing us to “hide from the fireball”, the Blister Season will force mankind to hunt and peek under cooler Moon-enlightened spaces. If inter-community war is still needed to capture resources, Blister will make obtaining and stock piling water the end game.</p>
<p></p>
<p><strong>Blister Season Mythology?</strong></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p>With Nature out of the spiritual equation, the Blister season will be separated in two camps: scavengers vs. resourcers. Since there are no seasons to guide <a href="http://openmythsource.com/2012/07/29/the-cascadia-funnel-and-the-last-3-eras-on-earth-new-myth-25-by-willi-paul-openmythsource-com/" target="”blank”">Post-Chaos Era</a> human farming and soul searching, only survival stories and clubs will rule. This tricky and final dry chapter in our ritual evolution could <strong>exterminate mythology</strong> all together, given that we use it so infrequently today anyway.</p>
<p></p>
<p><strong>Moon glow lipstick and hand printed cave symbols will not save you here.</strong></p>

<p></p>
<p>"<a href="http://shawcss.tripod.com/REL101/ritual/ch5_6.htm" target="”blank”">Seasonal ritual</a> is always directed to securing the well-being of both the community and the individual." Seasonal rituals assume that life is a "series" of leases that must be renewed each year.”</p></div>
