“Looks like it’s getting closer to midnight on 31st December and not sure we’ve got a viable plan.” The climate change traffic lights may have gone green in Paris & while all around engines might be revving -       few have yet to drop the clutch Are we mentally strapped by fear of financial meltdown? will we be emancipated by the shift of currencies based on simple gold rather than hopes & promises compounded Perhaps we are numbed by the precipitous drop in the price of oil -       those gallons gushing...

Climate Change is being caused by us – but not through CO2. So by focusing on CO2 reductions not ‘smoke’ we may have no effect and temperatures will rise dangerously before humanity realizes. Fortunately – when it does and those fires are put out, those temperatures will soon stop rising.

This Decade
