Triple digits, widespread soaring temperatures should be an unmistakable buzz, an absolute alarm for those who don”t want to take global warming seriously.
It is here already folks. Stir in a Gulf Oil mega catastrophe and San Bruno going kerflooey and what do we have? How about world population, having edged along for 250 million years to a total of one billion in 1900, septupling in the flash of one century.
As Judge Judy might say, don”t lie.
We sit, seven billion of us, polluting away, energy desperate, increasing on the prowl for food and water, on a planet that is about to place the needs of 14 billion, untenably, on the backs of our children and grandchildren. Happy Halloween to us all.
