Today, I reflected on a television report in France
stating that temperatures observed in May 2026 were comparable to those already
recorded in 1922. This simple comparison led me to think beyond climate itself
and to question humanity, our place in the Universe, and the contradictions of
our civilisation.
If similar temperatures already existed more than one
hundred years ago, then perhaps climate evolution cannot be reduced to a single
explanation.
The Earth evolves.
The solar system evolves.
Stars are born, live and disappear.
Galaxies collide and transform.
The Universe itself is in motion.
And perhaps, beyond the Universe we know, there may
exist realities and universes that humanity still understands very little
about.
We humans often behave as if we fully understand
existence, yet our knowledge remains limited. We are still discovering our
oceans, our planet, our atmosphere, and the cosmos itself.
Scientists from past centuries already recognised that
Earth is dynamic and constantly changing.
Milutin Milanković demonstrated how planetary
movements influence long climate cycles.
Charles Lyell described Earth as evolving through
immense natural timescales.
Alexander von Humboldt viewed nature as an
interconnected living system.
Long before modern industry, Earth experienced
climatic changes, warming periods, cooling periods and environmental
transformations.
This does not remove human responsibility. Humanity
affects nature. Industrialisation, pollution, deforestation and
overexploitation have consequences.
But perhaps humanity is not the only factor in
planetary evolution.
Natural mechanisms, oceans, solar activity, geological
cycles and forces that we still do not entirely understand may also participate
in these transformations.
Yet climate is only one part of a much larger
reflection.
Humans call themselves rational animals.
But are we truly rational?
We have transformed oil into energy, fuel, plastics,
medicine, transport and technologies that allow billions of people to live
longer and more comfortably.
We have created science.
We have explored space.
We have cured diseases.
We have built civilisations.
And yet, despite all this intelligence, humanity still
chooses war.
We continue to fight over land.
Over borders.
Over ideologies.
Over power.
History is filled with these tragedies:
The Napoleonic Wars.
The First World War.
The Second World War.
The Cold War.
And even today, conflicts continue in different parts
of the world.
After centuries of suffering, humanity still struggles
to learn the same lesson.
Power does not create wisdom.
Dominance does not create civilisation.
War does not create humanity.
If one believes in God, one may call this force “the
Creator”.
If not, one may simply speak of nature, existence, or
the Universe.
But the question remains the same:
Why has humanity been given intelligence, creativity
and the ability to cooperate if we continue to choose destruction?
Perhaps the greatest environmental crisis is not
climate.
Perhaps it is human behaviour.
Not because humans are evil, but because our
civilisation often values domination more than harmony.
We possess extraordinary intelligence, yet we still
behave as if strength were greater than wisdom.
The Earth evolves.
The Universe evolves.
Life evolves.
The question is whether human consciousness evolves at
the same pace.
Because if we continue fighting for land, power and
superiority, then our greatest enemy may never have been nature.
It may be ourselves.
