GLOBAL WARMING

 I first read THIS CHANGES EVERYTHING by Naomi Klein about seven years ago. Since then I have read an enormous number of articles and books referencing the subject. I decided to look at her book once again to refresh my memory of her writing.


Since I could not find an address or an email account to write my question to her directly, I am using my blog to cite my issue.


How does someone so smart and skilled in expressing themselves deal with the fact that their knowledge and insights are cast aside by so many. How does she deal with what I am dealing with, viz., such depressed feelings that the future seems destined for disaster!


I would love to hear her tell me how she deals with the depressing information about our nation and our world being unable to start planning to make the needed changes to avoid a devastating phenomena in about 30 years. I know how depressed I am and the only bright side personally is that I am old.  I will not have to face the consequences of poor, rather no, planning. 


But, I have children and six grandchildren. These grandchildren and their children will surely be present when the anticipated onslaught of the consequences of global warming works it way through the planet.


I wish that Naomi would talk to me and give me comfort.

WATCHING THE ROCK

 

Wrestling with the incoming tide. 

Back and forth,they struggle,

Hoping to keep from drowning,

Remembering hours ago,

The need to hold on, 

Until smiling to see the horizon,

Beaming with such joy!
