“This is a dramatic and disturbing event. It shows that we are losing remarkable features of the Canadian North that have been in place for many thousands of years,” Vincent said. “We are crossing climate thresholds, and these may signal the onset of accelerated change ahead.”
Hmm...what kind of "change"? Notice how he seems to tread softly on that area. I think even he knows that this change may not be a pretty story.
He is treading softly because scientists try not to exceed the bounds of their data...and because there is a large population of global warming deniers--such as right wing evangelicals--eager to depict any warning as overstatement.
Will infidels and those with false belief continue to trod upon the warnings and signs of the end?
Do you refer here to the evangelical Christian leadership in the U.S. which condemned an expression of concern by a few concerned evangelicals as tantamount to "pagan nature worship"?
Will they ever wake up and realize "enough is enough with critizing the warning signs we've learned from scripture?"
Science has provided the warnings: I'd prefer to see "them" wake up and realize that 1 + 1 = 2. "Scripture" readers merely pick the bloody bits they feel they can use.
A long procession of "end-times" prophets--starting with Jesus--have predicted the immiment end. They were all wrong. When someone gets it right, that person likely will be a scientist with good data, not a prophet.
Drinking when we are not thirsty and making love at any time, madam, is all that distinguishes us from the other animals.
-Pierre De Beaumarchais (1732-1799)
