I Think That We Reject The Evidence That Our World Is Changing Because We Are Still, As That Wonderfully Wise Biologist E. O. Wilson Reminded Us, Tribal Carnivores. We Are Programmed By Our Inheritance To See Other Living Things As Mainly Something To Eat, And We Care More About Our National Tribe Than Anything Else. We Will Even Give Our Lives For It And Are Quite Ready To Kill Other Humans In The Cruellest Of Ways For The Good Of Our Tribe. We Still Find Alien The Concept That We And The Rest Of Life, From Bacteria To Whales, Are Parts Of The Much Larger And Diverse Entity, The Living Earth.

There Aren't Just Bad People That Commit Genocide; We Are All Capable Of It. It's Our Evolutionary History.

By 2040, The Sahara Will Be Moving Into Europe And Berlin Will Be As Hot As Baghdad. Atlanta Will End Up A Kudzu Jungle. Phoenix Will Become Uninhabitable, As Will Parts Of Beijing (desert), Miami (rising Seas) And London (floods). Food Shortages Will Drive Millions Of People North, Raising Political Tensions.

There Is No Clear Distinction Anywhere On The Earth's Surface Between Living And Nonliving Matter. There Is Merely A Hierarchy Of Intensity Going From The 'material' Environment Of The Rocks And The Atmosphere To The Living Cells.
