“Nothing in life is to be feared. It is only to be understood” – Marie Curie.

Dear Climate Healers,

The post-war institutions of Planet A have been destroyed. They lie about Davos, Switzerland, in ruins.

This isn’t just a transition, but a transformation.

In his seminal essay, “The Power of the Powerless,” Vaclav Havel described how totalitarian systems force people to “live within a lie”, to accept and propagate a reality that contradicts their true values and observations. Today, Greenland stands as a sobering reminder of that modern lie. As the Arctic ice melts at unprecedented rates, powerful governments and corporations view Greenland not as a planetary warning, but as a new frontier for mining, shipping, and exploitation. The melting is celebrated for the economic opportunities it reveals, even as it signifies ecological collapse.

To live within this lie is to continue pretending that infinite growth is possible on a finite planet. To live within this lie is to treat Earth’s symptoms not as a warning of accelerated mass extinction, but as an opportunity for further extraction. It is to ignore the voices of the Inuit and other Indigenous peoples who have lived in harmony with the Earth’s ecosystems for millennia. It is to accept a narrative where economic growth supersedes planetary survival.

Planet B exposes this lie and offers a path to live within the truth. It invites us to see Greenland’s melting not as a doorway to fossil-fueled prosperity, but as a final alarm call to reorder our values and redesign our systems. It means to recognize that world peace and planetary health are two sides of the same coin.

Instead of doubling down on the very industries causing planetary illness, Planet B calls for their replacement with regenerative economies that honor ecological limits, protect vulnerable communities, and elevate wisdom traditions that never forgot how to live in the right relationship with Planet Earth.

Living within the truth means acknowledging that infinite growth on a finite planet is a deadly illusion. It means embracing humility, interdependence, and compassion. It means seeing Greenland not as a profit center, but as a pulse check on planetary health, and responding not with denial and the drums of war, but with design for a world of peace.

With much love,
