Point of No Return

Just a 0.3 degrees celsius Is humanity from disaster away But keeps destroying the planet Till life to Man's whims falls prey* (c) Demetrios Trifiatis 16 November 2016 *Yesterday was announced that the temperature of the planet rose by 1.2 degrees out of 1.5 that has been set as the point of no return.

Herr Professor!! Ich finde das auch so!! Unfortunately, the recent "election" of "President Trump" in the USA doesn't help matters. If he ends up pulling the USA out of the World Climate Accord, this will only help accelerate more pollution and climatic problems, but please Exxon-Mobile and other major corporate conglomerates and polluters. We can only hope and pray for more positive "Green Energy Technology" and other positive political actions to push us in a better direction. A "7+"!! Gary
