Thanks K. Good find. Poor good David (no sark!) could perhaps do with a classic NDE. It’s so common for people who’ve been through that astonishing experience to say - and to demonstrate in their subsequent lifetime - that it’s completely changed their attitude to everything, particularly dying. They seem to move noticeably away from angst and towards the Taino/Balinese/chitsatanand way of being.
David, though, could add to the usefulness of his meditation work by taking another look at what he says here: “I had no difficulty believing him.” Hansen, he means.
That’s the problem, David. I too, when I first encountered it, swallowed the ‘climate emergency’ narrative on trust. I never dug down deep, to see whether the underlying scientific ‘facts’ (actually just wholly unproven hypotheses) actually stood up to common-sense street savvy.
The covid swindle tipped me, along with a whole tranche of previously good-thinking people, into an overdue sceptical re-examination of the ideas which I’d taken on trust for so long.
And - lo and behold! - just as the ‘deadly-mass-killer-virus’ of the covid panic appears not to exist, so too do a whole bunch of other ‘self-evidently true’ unprovens - like, for example, imminent climate disaster.
It is still true that we could be in for some rum changes in climate soonish; after all, we’re overdue, according to the Milankovitch Cycles, for the next Ice Age…
And no amount of relief from the climate panic that a bit of sceptical re-examination can bring has any bearing on the very real fact of worldwide ecological-overshoot that we’re in right now (not coming soon), brought on by the human-population-overshoot episode (that we’re also in right now); an actually-real crisis, not helped at all by our obsession with WEFfy-Hararoid startrekkytechietechie control delusions…
All the same, David E is clearly on a right track. It tallies closely with the insights of many masters from traditional wisdom systems; and, as a bonus, it tallies closely with the best Big Theory Of Everything of which I’m aware presently: that of physicist/mathematician/practical-mystic Tom Campbell… 
All things considered: no worries, plenty serene willingness for bliss! An entirely appropriate response to the perceivable realities of existence!
