Maureen, the scenario should raise everyone's anxiety level. We've only just begun to see the effects, and I don't think many people want to think about catastrophe, but that does not stop it from happening. Hard to know how to get enough people to understand this. Recent daily CO2 at Mauna Loa...July 29 2023 423.17 ppm. Yesterday it was 426.91 ppm so we're headed in the wrong direction, and this doesn't account for all the other forms of environmental degradation. Heads in the sand?

We should be smarter than this. We’re such fallible creatures, knowing ought to be enough, alas, agendas prevail and the passionate are perceived as lunatics. sigh xomo
