The Tipping Point

Jerry Reynolds

 

The state of things in play
evokes a time near reached
where the dreadfulness
we are running from
is no worse than the horror-
we are running to

        Trailers only at that link from here. Don'think I need or could watch the whole movie anyway.
        Past the tipping point already, Jerry. From now on it is just a downward slide full of ever increasing "unprecedented " weather events........

          Thanks, Dave.
          You are not alone in that assessment. Many are saying, “Its over so lets party” go out in a blaze of glory. Only a fool pursues anything but pleasure. If there’s nothing in it for me it’s a waste of time. You are either on one side or the other- there is no fence left to straddle.

            That was and still is the core of the problem in the first place, Jerry.

            Fires all across the Northern hemisphere - Europe as well as US and Canada. Come summer South it will be our turn. With all that extra carbon in the atmosphere plus The Greenland/Arctic melt......

            Strong words Jerry and so true, maybe we will be able to change it one day.

              The estimate is 30 years.
