I think we have entered uncharted territory. Global inhabitants, whether man, beast, insect, bird, fish, plant, and all other manner of living things, have inhabited their particular locations on the planet based on the benefits provided within their eco system. Overall global warming seems to be changing many delicate eco systems around the world.
What happens to a town that was built around the water provided by a river or stream feed from the summer runoff of a nearby glacier, when the glacier disappears? What happens to the inhabitants of cities, town and villages, built hundreds of years ago along low lying marshes and coasts, who use the sea in at their front door to make a living, when the sea rises up to swallows them and their dwellings? What happens to our children, grand children, and great grand children, when the world population grows to 9 or 10 billion people by the year 2050, even as the world wide agricultural industry begins experiencing declining production due to climate change? There must be a better understanding of the causes and effects of global warming, which appears to be changing delicate environments around the world. I hope we learn sooner, rather than later; because, if we wait for precedent to learn the answers to questions such as yours, well ... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Overpopulation Regards, LelandJ On 01/25/2011 10:19 AM, Michael Madigan wrote: > And the hurricanes too, right Leland? > > --- On Tue, 1/25/11, Leland Jackson<[email protected]> wrote: > >> From: Leland Jackson<[email protected]> >> Subject: Re: [OT] "Just Weather" in Sarasota >> To: "ProFox Email List"<[email protected]> >> Date: Tuesday, January 25, 2011, 10:21 AM >> On 01/25/2011 04:31 AM, Pete Theisen >> wrote: >>> Hi Everybody, >>> >>> http://www.heraldtribune.com/article/20110125/ARTICLE/101251056/-1/todayspaper?p=3&tc=pg >>> >>> "Arctic fronts in December dropped temperatures into >> the 20s, setting a >>> new record low in Sarasota of 27 degrees on Dec. 28. >> The entire month >>> was the coldest on record -- an average of 7 to 11 >> degrees below normal." >> >> It will all average out.
