What Im about to share with you is pretty typical of the materials I read on a regular basis. It is going to make you feel something. Shock, disbelief, disgust, confusion, fear...perhaps this is too much for you to deal with, so you choose not to think about it...or maybe you are still in denial and your defense is to numb out. I share this because you deserve and NEED to know the truth. A revolution is upon us whether we want it or not. “Although science rarely provides absolute certainty, a consensus has emerged among scientists, and among a small but growing cadre of influential leaders, that the changes needed to avert extreme and possibly uncontrollable climate change will be greater and must happen far more quickly than we imagined even a few years ago.” Current levels of CO2 are almost one-third higher than at any other time in the past 650,000 years. There is a long time lag before the full effects of CO2 are felt on temperature and climate; scientific estimates put this at thirty to fifty years. This means that the full effects of current atmospheric CO2 levels will not be felt until 2050 or even later. Take a moment to really contemplate these words...As I continue to read The Necessary Revolution by Peter Senge and complete my report that is due tonight, I will continue to post such quotes. I have not been posting much along these lines lately because I dont want to be a Negative Nancy...but the fact is that you all are strong and resilient. I believe you CAN handle the truth, and the only way we are going to recover from the mess that we put ourselves in as a species is if we willingly and wholeheartedly face the truth.
