The Omnivore’s Demise
Posted by momnature on November 23, 2007
On November 16, 2007, your Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, released a 23 page report for world governments that included the following statement on its first page in bold print:
“Warming of the climate system is unequivocal, as is now evident from observations of increases in global average air and ocean temperatures, widespread melting of snow and ice, and rising global average sea level.” The balance of the report consists of supporting data and the consequences of delay.
Unequivocal! This is a blunt warning. About as blunt as one can get. It was carried in some of your news papers for one day, and is now either forgotten or ignored. This report speaks to the greatest threat humankind has ever faced . . . far greater than your current wars or future pandemics. And yet . . .
This is what your Mother Nature can’t understand. Why would the most intellectually advanced species on the planet, with full knowledge of certain danger, choose to die? Perhaps readers can help me out here. It is a mystery to me. The report clearly shows what will happen on this planet the longer the majority of people dither. Their future is already bleak. Continuing to do nothing, or not enough, will doom everyone. Yet, for most of you, this crisis is not even a part of conversation. Is humanity committed to suicide?
