Good Morning Clo!

I am moved to pick up little plastic bottles on the shoreline of the closest river or lake or stream or ocean. Humans are so irrelevant.


We are ants at the picnic table. We get the whole feast if only we are united.
We are the insects of this incredible universe.
Our destiny is to play among the stars.
I think. I hope.
Timeframes beyond lifetimes?
Is this the human potential.
It speaks of us. It defines our children.

Dreams of the future.

NASA: Earth Warming Fastest in 1,000 Yrs

Earth is warming at a pace that is unprecedented for the past 1,000 years, NASA scientists report. It is, experts say, “very unlikely” that the planet can stay within a 1.5 degree Celsius temperature-increase limit “agreed by nations just last year,” wrote The Guardian. 2016 has seen record temperatures the world over and the pace and nature of the warming over decades is perilously out of step with any other time period over the past millennium, officials say. “In the last 30 years, we’ve really moved into exceptional territory,” said Gavin Schmidt, director of NASA’s Goddard Institute for Space Studies. “It’s unprecedented in 1,000 years. There’s no period that has the trend seen in the 20th century in terms of the inclination [of temperatures].”
