The consequences of climate change now include, among others, intense droughts, water scarcity, severe fires, rising sea levels, flooding, melting polar ice, catastrophic storms and declining biodiversity. Because the Earth is a system, where everything is connected, changes in one area can influence changes in all others. But temperature rise is only the beginning of the story. Many people think climate change mainly means warmer temperatures.

Through a series of close readings of Jung's works, he explores the radical themes at the core of Jung's psychology, and interprets for us the dynamic vision of the whole self that inspires and motivates his work. David Tacey introduces the reader to Jung's unique style and approach, which is at once scientific and prophetic. His true aim, in all of his work, was a therapy of the West. He was not interested in developing a narrow therapy that would help fit the individual into an untransformed society. Jung was the original anti-psychiatrist, who believed that the real patient was not the suffering individual, but a sick and ailing Western civilization. ![]() ![]() ![]() The song accumulated over 500,000 views on YouTube around two hours after its release, and soon thereafter started "trending" on Twitter in the United States.

In the postscript section, Jerome responds to his father’s inquiry about whether or not Jerome is still a virgin, and the tone here is rather begrudging and irritated. Jerome seems to be emphasizing the positive aspects of the Kippses, and the negative aspects of the Belseys, such as a perceived lack of “logic” in the Belsey family. The next email details more of Jerome’s adventures and good times with the Kippses. The end of this email also reveals that Monty Kipps and Howard Belsey have some kind of feud over public debates and writings, and Jerome urges his father to forget this feud, which is just a waste of energy.
