Purifying

We are in the age of the Great Purification

Just as fire burns the impurities from iron, and transforms it to steel, the increased average temperature of the surface of the Earth is clearing the way for a better new age. Working together, we can make it an era of increased leisure, freedom, security, health, prosperity, and comfort for all.

Franklin Delano Roosevelt said the only thing we have to fear is fear itself. As wind, fire, storm, flood, and rising ocean lead us to more cooperative activities than, say, fracking, I expect Earth will bloom again with an abundance of plants and animals, some of which are familiar and some new. I expect warmer temperatures in Pittsburgh will allow for growing banana and papaya trees. I will be growing them again this year. Neither of these plants can tolerate freezing, but, with global warming I wonder if we'll continue to have any frosts in Pittsburgh. Maybe this year they'll be able to grow to fruiting at Everybody's Garden. Right now, I am (mostly) enjoying this cold weather.

Some scientists think our species is headed for extinction soon, and so have abandoned efforts to prevent it. This assumption - that it's too late - is itself one of the problems we face. If we don't try, we won't find out if we can. Now is the time to try to do whatever each of us thinks best for ourselves, our children and their descendants, our pets, our neighborhoods, our ecosystem, our world.
