We know how to predict today's
weather
and how to predict climate
change.
Yet we seem unable to
accept
the consequences of
continual
transgression of the
laws of physics
in terms of how our use
of fossil fuels is
bringing disaster to the
good earth you gave us.
You would feed us with the
finest wheat and honey--
why should we put you
and future generations to this test?
