Spain is currently experiencing the most devastating weather in the last 100 years. However, if disaster relief is insufficient and no serious climate policy is implemented, there will soon be even worse disasters. This applies to all continents of our planet. Can we still be saved? Or is every rescue measure already too late?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Do we now need a gradual evolution or a rapid revolution?<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Evolution means a step-by-step development over a long period of time. But in this case, we no longer have this long time, because the climate crisis can very quickly become a climate catastrophe worldwide. Time is of the essence and the impacts of climate change are rapidly approaching, becoming more brutal, more frequent, unaffordable and claiming more and more lives. More than a quarter of 16-24 year-olds in Germany say they do not want to have children because of the climate crisis. Another quarter say their desire to have children has diminished.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So it is a revolution after all \u2013 as the representatives of the \u2018Last Generation\u2019 think? In our experience and thinking, revolution is always associated with violence \u2013 \u2018men go to the barricades and set the world on fire\u2019. (Christian St\u00f6cker<\/a>). \u2018Almost all major problems have one thing in common: men\u2019 (Elisa von Hof<\/a>).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The male inhabitants of the earth were and are the germ cells of violence and hierarchical thinking and acting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What is revolutionary?<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

The coming solar world revolution will be peaceful if it is to be successful and will affect the entire world, unlike the French, Russian and Chinese revolutions after 1789, 1914 and 1949. It must happen at a revolutionary speed. This first peaceful world revolution will not only change our entire energy behaviour, but also our thinking, politics, economy and our lives. That is revolutionary.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Today we have all the technical tools to make use of this almost infinite energy. This means that the age-old dream of a low-cost and climate-friendly energy paradise can become reality in a few years, or decades at the latest. I share this confidence with one of Germany’s most renowned climate researchers. Mojib Latif writes: \u2018We can still turn things around, that much is certain from a scientific point of view. I am also firmly convinced that we will see an enormous surge in international climate protection in the coming years.\u2018 (Mojib Latif, COUNTDOWN, page 201<\/a>).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As a member of the Magischer Zirkel von Deutschland<\/a> (German Magic Circle) \u2013 I once financed my studies with public magic shows \u2013 I know that the \u201eZauber der Zukunft\u201c (Matthias Horx)<\/a> cannot simply be conjured up. The necessary transformation means a lot of work for millions of people. Today, 16 million people worldwide are already employed in the renewable energy sector. In 25 years, there should be around 50 million jobs, according to IRENA, the International Renewable Energy Agency.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Matthias Horx also says: \u2018Ecology needs a new paradigm of abundance to return to its former strength. We also call this the blue ecology (the colour blue stands for the Earth’s atmosphere as seen from space, for hydrogen, space, energy and hope). Ecology 2.0 is an intelligent combination of technology, economics, a sense of nature and a longing for a better life\u2019 (Matthias Horx “Der Zauber der Zukunft” \u2013 How We Will Change the World, Goldmann 2024, page 379<\/a>).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hannah Arendt expresses her hope for the future as follows: \u2018The \u201cmiracle\u201d is that people are born at all, and with them the new beginning that they can realise through their actions by virtue of being born.\u2019<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Of course, there is still a lot to be done. But this perspective is an incentive to take part in the solar world revolution. Those who do so will certainly never be unemployed. I know what I am talking about. The direction we are now taking into the solar age is definitely the right one and gives us courage, hope and confidence. Even \u2018hope for the desperate\u2019 \u2013 we are the \u2018first generation\u2019 that can \u2018make the earth a better place\u2019 (Hannah Ritchie<\/a>). That’s right. Who, if not we, readers of this article?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the face of the climate catastrophe and multiple other disasters, there is often a moment of despair. But the global solar world revolution also allows for a moment of hope. As Ernst Bloch said: \u2018If we stop hoping, what we fear will surely come to pass.\u2019<\/p>\n\n\n\n
