16. LOL! There soon won't BE any land in Holland.


I fully agree that the silent elephant in the room is the probable northern latitude freeze. I'm afraid this will mean a huge population die off as temps plummet and fuel becomes not only expensive, but simply unavailable as the freeze deepens.

Here in central florida we are likely to have oceanfront property where once there were orange groves. Won't matter anyway, since with the gulf stream either shifting or drasticly slowing it won't be able to move the heat north to moderate our sweltering weather, so we'll be the flip side of the northern freeze.

As a senior citizen, I don't think I'll see the drastic changes. It's my grand daughters who will have to suffer in the horror that we've created as humanity. For them I grieve.

Looking at the bigger picture for a moment, all this is just nature's analog of antibodies. Homo Sapiens is the invader of her body and she's fighting back to counter the infection we've become.
