This week Governor Brown of California used all the words: Climate Change, Global Warming, and such, in talking about the now extended fire season in southern California - as fires roar in San Diego and we can smell the acrid smoke on a morning in Los Angeles/Santa Monica/Malibu.

As Dr. David Suzuki says - we have to shift the paradigm. Important words about our brain and being human - that humans 'invented' the future - we are capable of understanding how we effect the future.

I agree with Dr. Suzuki (when he talks at the very end) about nature - we don't know enough to make a definitive doomsday scenario - though working with the warnings is necessary. Just as the earth, and subsequent climate, changes are speeding up in ways that no computer model predicted (because limited by human input and understanding at the time of the model's construction) - so, too, we don't know the corrections nature may instigate.

However, we do know some things - and it is foolish not to heed the indications of our knowledge.
