Can We Afford to Wait?

The debate over global warming raises a question: can we afford to wait? Even if you think this planet is not in any peril, despite the current scientific evidence, is it wise to wait and simply see what happens? What do we do if-- in 10 years our actions result in a “tipping point”: a point where our destruction of the earth becomes irreversible? What is your life experience with what you have seen thus far with your own surroundings? Are you being honest to both yourself and your children to believe global warming is not happening?

Whether you agree or disagree that the burning of fossil fuels, increases in population and other factors are creating life threatening greenhouse effects the greater question is—are the facts gathered by experts alarming enough to act?

Are the facts below in the documentary, “An Inconvenient Truth” just convenient lies?

  • Out of 925 recent articles in peer-review scientific journals about global warming, there was zero (no) disagreement.
  • 10 of the warmest years in history were in the last 14 years.
  • Core samplings of polar ice show that CO2 is much, much higher than ever before in a quarter of a million years.
  • 57% of people question the fact of global warming, while 43% of people are support the evidence.

Now many in this country believe what Senator Inhofe, has said, “Global warming is the greatest hoax ever perpetrated on the American people.” Let’s demand objective information regarding our future over the next decade. We can not afford to guess about global warming. Did you know that 12% of Americans surveyed believe Joan of Arc was married to Noah? Let’s get the facts now or later we may be losing our lives and our world as a result of “horrific science fiction.”

It’s as if a huge political football is being kicked around regarding what happened and why over the private operation of one unlined landfill and a mega-landfill recently closed by the Virginia Department of Environmental Quality (VADEQ) for ongoing violations and excessive trash intake . There have been many anomalies in the operation of these Page County landf

Despair in Repair

Recently I learned that I have prostrate cancer. For many years my dermatologist has been removing this from my skin. In my recovery may I honor each day as my last. My priceless experiences comes from this celebrating what I been given. How better may I address my mortality then to Face Everything and Recover. When I Frick Everything and Run this other FEAR fosters little repair of my despair. It is challenging to deal with what is happening. Climate change profoundly terrorizes me. First addressing my inner conflicts best allows me to accept outer events. My way out of disaster is to triumph by accepting within. When I become more tolerant this attitude of gratitude renews me.  Such a resilient mindset liberates me. Acceptances frees me to whatever circumstances arise.   Fearless insights liberates me from my selfish emotions.  When my deeds and values align I find harmony. Being of greater service also gets me out of my victimhood. Kind acts heals me. Excess egotism le

Renewed Light

  It is during our darkest moments that we must focus on the light - Aristotle I am a child of light and my initials are RA. Also this is the name of the ancient Egyptian sun god. Exploring my aversion with darkness allows me greater potential, possibility and purpose since new light always emerges. Winter solstice represents death and rebirth since the sun is at its weakest point. At Xmas it begins a new cycle of rays out of the darkest days. All spiritual traditions celebrate creation itself or this enlightenment of new beginnings. All awakening goes back to the beginning of human consciousness. All ancient people shared being children of light. On the Winter Solstice the sun remains on the Southern Cross constellation for three days. Then on the 25th the sun moves one degree North. It is born and grows out of darkness/death to light/life. We are all new seeds of light being germinated. Our luminous nature is reflected above in the Milky Way starlight. Native people believe w
