We are the natural process come into consciousness deciding that our demise is undesirable. Volcanoes cause global cooling, and other processes cause global warming. Continuing to see humans as DISTINCT from the natural process is what got us into this mess and not what is going to take us out. My dream was to see more riots @ Copenhagen. It's the way civilized people respond to uncivilized times governed by despots. Except our despots have huge <b>PR</b> campaigns to make you feel good about their doing their <i>best</i>.
