We weren't around. But humans were. And I wonder how they enjoyed it? And we won't be around, but humans will, if the shit hits the fan again. Yes, I've read that, and things like it. How do I know whether they're right or the NAS scientists are right? I don't and neither do you or Michael M. But you laugh at the idea that the planet needs forests. I think it's probably too late to do anything. At least that's my suspicion. But I don't know that, either. This worries me. If there is only a 1% chance of this, it worries me. Ten percent, it worries me a lot. We have affected the biochemistry of the earth and we have done it in less than a century. If a qualitative climate change were to occur suddenly in the coming century - within less than 10 years - as has happened many times before in geological history, we may already have written our epitaph. I wish somebody were watching the store.
