‘what is karma’.
The concept of Individual Karma seems to be understood by most people only in very general terms as it relates to the Cosmic Law of Reincarnation. Understanding ‘group karma (collective karma)’ is much more complex, especially relating to such issues as global warming. [“The climate crisis was created in the industrialized world. There is a direct correlation between industrialization and carbon emissions. In fact, the bulk of the historical carbon emissions have been produced by a small portion of the world’s population. Then we have this cruel geographical irony, which is that the effects of climate change [are] felt overwhelmingly in the developing world and the parts of the world that are least responsible for creating the crisis. So, we have this inverse relationship between cause and effect.”]
Note, however, that the karmic placements of successive waves of incarnations of returning souls will reestablish equity. Karmic Justice at all levels is inevitable in Cosmic Law.

Note: The clarification of the idea of collective karma seems to be the ‘doctrine of karma’ as taught by the Theosophical Society that introduced the expression the ‘law of karma’.
