9. We're only now beginning to feel effects of Global Warming from 1960 onward ...!!!
That's because we had a 50 year gap in our feeling the effects -- though the

glaciers have been melting since the 1940's --

Scientists have know since the late 1880's that industrial revolutio was seriously

impacting nature, especially trees --


Also, glacier melting is changing the pressure on the tectonic plates which causes

earthquakes -- we will have more earthquakes -- and earthquakes of more severe intensity.


We need to shut down our nuclear reactors -- we have 103/106 in US -- and it takes 6 months

to properly shut one down -- tho not sure if that includes any sane/sensible removal of the

WASTE?



In other words, folks ... had we never engaged in any "bus-i-ness" we would have been

ahead of the game -- we'd still have the planet and a home base!!


We could have all been enjoying life rather than enabling a bunch of fools to make

"profits" -- which they used to buy illegitimate power ovelr us -- !!
