The issue of global warming has now been around for a good part of my adult life, and although I have never studied it I have listened to the debates for many years now. Is it possible that we can have put so much pollution, heat, and change into this earth system, and that there might be no repercussions? Is it possible that some of the changes we are alive to witness might have occurred, albeit more slowly, whether we were here or not, whether we had pumped quite this much CO/CO2 into the Earthsphere, whether we reduce emission amounts now or not? It's so complicated, the biosphere as a single organism, what we do to a toe affects an eyebrow, cloud to plant, buffalo to butterfly. It's not going to stay the way it is no matter what, on that we can all agree. Is it possible that we can resettle people w/out some loss of culture? Probably not. Maybe we can plan well, minimize that loss, and respect the culture, and people, to such an extent that they, at least, feel less burdened by their role in all this. Fabulous topic!
