Excellent article....very well written.
So be it.
Guys and Gals, study geologic time tables. I am no scientist, but was educated in VT (when it meant something).
Britain was semi-tropical 11,000 years ago.
Lake Champlain used to connect to the sea around the same time. And if you caught the History channel last night, the “Champ” story was on again.
Ancient civilizations in Peru used to over-farm thier lands (then died off). The Nile area around the Pyramids and the Valley of the Dead used to be much more lush (See sediment around the sphinx.
Studies of the Mt. St. Helens eruption computed that more destructive gases flowed into the upper atmosphere than in the entire American Industrial Revolution.
I also believe in God and the Trinity. But my Mother, Brother, Sister and most of the rest of my family don’t.
So no one is suppost to listen to me you see.
But I am forgiven. Good thing huh? Because I don’t think we have much to fear from Earth and Nature. We were born to live in it.
What I fear are the rest of the 5 billion some odd, who don’t have the Faith.
