warming trends
recently i have been reading
a bit more about global warming.
i know it is ever becoming
a more and more popular
topic of debate.
personally none of this is
shocking news to me. intuitively ive
been aware of it for many years now.
however, geologists, climatologists
and other scientific
sectors must be losing thier
shit by now. what can we do?
not much it seems.
the damange appears to be
done.
so does the human race go out
in a big dramatic apocalyptic
event so phophesied in various
world religions or is it a
pathetic whimper that drags
on and on?a slow
and miserable death for the
human species and other creatures
and ecosystems too numerous to
catalogue.
perhaps the ones to die off first
are the luckier ones
and what difference does it make?
humans are an anomolous species.
and, we are after all, on top of
a dirt ball in the vast
cold emptiness of space, in
an ordinary gallaxy, orbiting
a mediocre and unremarkble star.
at the risk of becoming
a pariah for expressing
a possibley very unpopular
opinion, i have an addendum to
to my previous comments above.
it is not my place to
decide if the human species
will survive until the next
century. the laws of nature
will surely decide that.
however, i have been left with
feeling i am not certain human
beings *deserve* to live.
with the exception of a few
isolated pockets of compassionate
conservation, people have largely
failed to articulate and execute
the changes neccesary for the
well being of all creatures.
most of what i have observed
from the human species is lacking
the neccesary fortitude, respect,
understanding and reverence
for life required for continued
survival for the future
generations.
furthermore, despite being
in the minority, those in
control have maintained
thier own self-interests of
covetousness and the status quo.
additionally, the addiction
to fossil fuels is deplorable.
however, without a doubt,
this is possibley
one of the most interesting
times to be alive.
that is all.

As for the earth itself... I think in time, once we're all gone, the earth will survive and recover and flourish... I'm just not very optimistic about us human beans in the short term.
