No offense, DK, but we haven't been through this before. or of we did, we have never been through this with as many people on the planet as there are right now. The last year has been the hottest on record. that is not just personal observation, I watched the story on Nightline the other night. So, since there were records being kept during the Dust Bowl, and this is the hottest it's been and the largest recorded disaster that we have had, at the same time, no less, I think it's safe to say that something is different this time.
Of course, I would love to see it be that this is just a warm snap and it'll break and everything will go back to normal...but I don't see that happening. We don't fully understand this planet, in fact the only thing that we have ever known about the planet with certainty is that there aren't any others like it that we can find. We only had one Earth that had the perfect balance to support our lives, and yet, we didn't do what we would have needed to be to keep that balance. I don't think the world will go back to the way it was, and I don't think this is just another drought, or just another heat wave, or just another strong nationwide storm system.
Once again, all MOO.
