The fastest way to get people's attention is to scare the out of them..

There is arrogance on both sides - arrogant enough that people think we have no effect on our environment and arrogant enough to think we have such an effect that it will lead to destruction.

Its all about convenience- take humans out of the equation and this planet is going to go through cycles of climate change regardless...however big our contribution is, its happening now to what extent - we can only predict...and we are now realizing that maybe it wasn't such a smart idea to build most of our cities near the coast etc...

But who can really say how earth will react to what we have or have not done....only time well tell.

We are now no longer nomadic peoples..maybe in the future will well have to be.
