Approaching the edge of winter, the weather shouldn’t be quite this fine, and while no one is complaining, it leaves me uneasy with the reality of global warming. Back in 1993, one of the requirements for new students at Brandeis University was to read the book ‘Beyond the Limits’ which gave very similar forecasts of what the temperatures are today. It was harrowing and depressing look at where humanity was headed, and I didn’t see then how everyone could ever be convinced to stop the slide. My pessimism has not abated, and I still don’t see it, especially as those who think it’s a conspiracy have only dug deeper into their ignorance.
As the world slowly burns, at least we will get to gaze upon roses in December, roses of all kinds.
