[Vision2020] Humans Force Earth into New Geologic Epoch

[Sue Hovey]

Not at all, Ted.  I just liked the quote because in our context it could be directed to the leaders of Religious Right who presume to tell God what to do.  It was actually meant for Bob D. not as an add on to your concerns about what we are doing to mess up this planet.  We are, of course, doing all of that.  I watch here in Hawaii, a state with wind, thermal, sun, which could be harnessed to generate the power to run this island.  But what do they do instead--import millions of gallons of diesel each year to keep the electric lines humming to maintain power generation  that is not only expensive but inordinately wasteful.

So I am sorry if you didn't get my point.  I will certainly admit it was oblique.

  Sue et. al.

  You can't be suggesting that human impacts (climate change, species extinction, eco-system degradation, resource depletion) remaking the world's environment, in ways that will be devastating, as soon as the current generation reaches old age, are "Allah's plans?"

  I must misunderstand the point of your post, Sue.

                  Why ponder thus the future to forsee,
                   and jade thy brain to vain perplexity?
    Cast off thy care, leave Allah's plans to him--
    He formed them all without consulting thee....

      That's fine only if Betsy gets to stay . . .

        Is the extinction of Homo sapiens part of any of these scenarios? The Earth has a sort of 'self-correcting' mechanism, you know.

        Humans have altered Earth so much that scientists say a new epoch in the planet's geologic history has begun. <snip>
