Climate change – humanity is paralysed
Posted in: Humanity, Wouldn't it be nice... Tags: climate change, context, Continuity, Humanity, livability system, retrograde, unintended consequence
Sunspots, man made, sunspots, man made, believe it is ‘true’, believe it is not ‘true’, etc, gosh and this level of discussion helps us how? For years humanity has been flummoxed by its own lack of ability to – once and for all – figure out what is happening with climate change. It is heating [...]
Emotional and rational future maze
