Index of Subjects Good article Paul. I am doubtful about the human extinction part, indeed, our huge numbers probably guarantee that we will not go extinct but also that a lot of humans will suffer. I see the choice as between the earth as a giant dialysis machine, ever more dependent on high tech human management and and generating a plethora of bizarre, genetically engineered creatures, versus a species-rich, self-regulating earth. It seems we have pretty well opted for the former, but there are benefits to human mortality - perhaps a future generation will choose differently. In the meantime, let's conserve as much of the natural world as we possibly can! ________________________________________ From: naturens-owner@chebucto.ns.ca <naturens-owner@chebucto.ns.ca> on behalf of Paul Ruggles <cpruggles@eastlink.ca> Sent: Tuesday, April 01, 2014 2:17 PM To: naturens@chebucto.ns.ca Subject: [NatureNS] climate change About a year ago I wrote an op. ed. article for the Herald about climate change from an ecological perspective. Some of you may wish to read it. Especially in light of the latest failure for the world to respond. You can retrieve it by googling - paul ruggles climate threat puts our species on brink.
