Let's Make Hay While It Lasts.

What We Have Lived Through, The 20th Century, Has Been Like A Great Party. Adults Now Have Had The Best Time Humanity Has Ever Had. Now The Party Is Over And The Earth Is Reckoning Up.

Geological Change Usually Takes Thousands Of Years To Happen But We Are Seeing The Climate Changing Not Just In Our Lifetimes But Also Year By Year.

I Think That We Reject The Evidence That Our World Is Changing Because We Are Still, As That Wonderfully Wise Biologist E. O. Wilson Reminded Us, Tribal Carnivores. We Are Programmed By Our Inheritance To See Other Living Things As Mainly Something To Eat, And We Care More About Our National Tribe Than Anything Else. We Will Even Give Our Lives For It And Are Quite Ready To Kill Other Humans In The Cruellest Of Ways For The Good Of Our Tribe. We Still Find Alien The Concept That We And The Rest Of Life, From Bacteria To Whales, Are Parts Of The Much Larger And Diverse Entity, The Living Earth.

The Climate Is Doing Its Usual Tricks. There's Nothing Much Really Happening Yet. We Were Supposed To Be Halfway Toward A Frying World Now.

The World Has Not Warmed Up Very Much Since The Millennium. Twelve Years Is A Reasonable Time... It (the Temperature) Has Stayed Almost Constant, Whereas It Should Have Been Rising - Carbon Dioxide Is Rising, No Question About That.
