That is the problem with the whole global warming/climate change issue. 
"mankind is causing the climate changes."  Nope, mankind is accelerating the 
process.  AND, polluting oceans and rivers in the process.  Mankind is the 
only part of the earth to dump nuclear waste/radioactive junk and petroleum 
products and pesticides and poisons into the water and landfills to seap 
into groundwater.

Since there is no known half-life and a whole bunch of the crap humans have 
created and then dumped, how does any healing begin when there is no known 
end?

As someone who had a beautiful crystal bowl from Tiffany's and a cut crystal 
plate from Austria both broken by her moron b-i-l, I am fully aware that 
when some things are broken there ain't no way to fix them.

There in lies my worry.  Why worry about it if I'm not going to be here? 
Well, cause I don't like seeing beautiful things destroyed simply "because 
we can."  And the snooty nose in the area, superior,  NIMBY, I don't give a 
shit, why worry about tomorrow, I'll get what I can today  attitude annoys 
the beejeebers out of me <g>
