Hey Rabbit,

 

Do you have any idea what these people are talking about?  There are many senders I just delete regardless of the topic inside or outside of my NAFEX interests.  If it is “so-and-so” it is trash.

 

I decided to read this one and wonder if they should not be joining “The sky is falling” email group.  Not sure how this is pertinent to NAFEX.

 

I almost sent that same advice for those people to the NAFEX list but I resisted.

 

A lot of people have huge, egocentric attitudes regarding humanity, as if we are the end-all, beat-all of the planet earth.  When you tell them humanity is of the same consequence to the earth as fleas riding an elephant, they shut down or attack.  They just keep spouting “The sky is falling, we are killing the planet”.

 

Planets are quite capable of killing themselves and do not need any help from anybody.  One merely has to look up to understand that little detail.

 

The good news…  To my understanding and research just as our earth has a seasonality that result from our orientation to our sun, our solar system has seasonality as part of our galactic orbit and orientation to the galactic barycenter and oscillating orbit.  In that galactic orbit we are just coming out of late spring and entering early summer.

 

Figure 1  Galactic Year 225 Million Years Long

 

The galactic seasonality is due to the alignment of the galactic core versus the galactic barycenter and the solar systems position to that relationship in its orbit of the galaxy.

 

For the record, dinosaurs emerged earlier last galactic year than mankind emerged this galactic year.  Humanity is late blooming I guess.

 

The big test for mankind will be the late galactic fall when the dinosaurs died out just last galactic year.  Yup, that was just at the start of last galactic winter that the dinos died out.

 

I would love to lecture the “sky are falling people” but that is pointless.  The “Pareto Principle” explains that phenomenon ("vital few and trivial many",).

 

Later,

Tom

 John and Gordon,

 

"You are dead center, drop dead accurate in your assessment.  Population is the source of most of the problems we face even though that is an unpopular, non-PC position to take.
 I have long believed that it is impossible for the human species to address the problem, hence the inevitable."

 

I would third this except to suggest that pessimism should never lead to inaction-  Humans can address this problem and many are trying no matter how poor are the odds- life's supposed to be a struggle.  Even the decision not to have more than 2 children is a positive step.  Sharing your concerns on the Internet, possibly contributing to organizations involved in birth-control etc.

 

We may be on the verge of extinction but it is also possible that technology could lead to a longevity of survival for our species unprecedented in the history of our planet.

 

No species is forever.  Keep fighting for your planet and your species.  We aint dead yet.
