Well, I like your solution, in looking at it all as a two way conversation, a recognition of our own power in the grand scheme of things. That’s actually the problem with the anti-global warming myths (as opposed to the global warming myths, the reality is bigger than both) they fail to recognize our ability to deeply effect our environment through our actions. I think your solution is exactly right, we need to acknowledge our power, celebrate it, and use it to take charge of our reality.

Life requires death. Attributing emotional states to complex systems is a judgement call. That doesn’t invalidate it, but it requires awareness of your own projections and those being associated for you subconsciously through media immersion.

If I may, I don’t think “Mother Nature” gives a shit about her “dying animals.” Considering that five of the six Mass Extinction Events occured before humanity even came onto the scene, I think it’s a safe conclusion that “Mother Nature” is at best completely indifferent, at worst callous and murderous.

Mother Nature is not happy about her dying animals.

As far as I’m concerned, I’m looking forward to cheap beachfront property on the Antarctic coast.

This reminds me of the movie Stargate, when the Pharoah-alien bad guy praises the captured good guys and their civilization for having “harnessed the power of the atom” (as he lovingly strokes the atom bomb).

Sure, I suppose it is easy to kick your heals in and lament the progression of things toward such achievements (or “horrors”), but looked at another way (like you said) it could just as well welcome and invite us to new realms of aspiration (instead of fear).

Your new site changes are really good by the way, keep at it! You’ve rekindled the joy of discovery and exploration on behalf of your readers (”where does this lead? what is this?” etc).
