The Formula without F - reply


I'm quite convinced which of the two forces: Nature or Mankind, wins in the end. I think a key to this dilemma is to really understand that it is us and our children that will loose, not Nature. And in a way, declining weather is quite good to build that understanding.
I read in Scientific American a few years ago that actually, the Co2 problem isn't really a "long-term problem" for Nature. The excess Co2 will be absorbed by the oceans, the only small problem is that it takes a couple of hundred thousand years. (Poor humans.)

The long term perspective is interesting: Even from a evolutionary point of view the man hasn't been around for a very long time and by time he will be just another event in long chain of evolution... and that's true for this insignificant earth in the infinite universe. However, for the time being, one could accept the terms (or perhaps not even think of them) and make the best of it - even for our children.
