What does "natural cycle" really mean ?
It's "natural" so therefore...
= acceptable ?
= unimportant ?
= uncontrollable ?
= not to be feared ?
= not of concern ?
= not fixable by society ?
Isn't "natural cycle" just a slippery way of staying climate warming
is not significant enough to waste time, resources, our traditional ways, profits, etc.
Being in my 80's, I know, intellectually, that climate warming will not actually affect me much, if at all.
... maybe not it will not even affect my adult children or youngest grandchildren.
But I am of the belief that climate warming is something that society should make an effort to alleviate.
Even if it is not completely attributable to the effects of modern man,
it very likely will be a serious problem for all of our descendents,
and something effective can be done sooner than later.
After all, what else have we got to do today that's really important ?
Then too, I may be of the "Ant Clan", not the "Grasshopper".
