This may not be a popular idea to put forth to this group, but it seems
important that we, the folks who are following in nature's path to create
sustainable environments, pay attention to the larger picture of climate
change.
We are a small planet in a very large system, and that entire system is
undergoing climate change now.
I will follow this with links to sites that will corroborate the science
behind this shortly, but I just want all to remember we're not working in a
vacuum here.
Yes, humans have screwed things up royally.
But, we are only contributing to the larger cycles that occur naturally over
very long time scales.
Currently, we are experiencing influxes of gamma rays and other off-planet
heater-uppers that are influencing the climates on every planet in our solar
system.

It seems to me that as we move through the next 25 years, we'll notice more
of that going on and become more generally aware of the interrelationship
among celestial bodies that is as intricate and beautiful and perfect as the
natural relationships we find in nature on earth.

Back shortly with links.
