This one is not new. Well, it is new to me but not new. For me, this view begins in a recent Wall Street Journal article (12/17/2009): Climate Change is Nature's Way by Howard Bloom. He begins with "climate change activists are right - but [are] wrong about the reason."
A good opening that got my attention.
He discusses all of the planetary changes we have encountered since emerging as Homo Erectus - well before the creation of tailpipes and smokestacks. He agrees that someday, this period of relatively stable weather that was conducive to our evolution as a species will one day come to a dramatic conclusion. As we approach that point - sometime thousands of years into the future, we must prepare for dealing with a Mother Nature who really is not nice.
His story is one of travel. "The Earth is a traveler...The Sun is a traveler." He provides an interesting perspective of the various movements throughout the universe. He also talks about Earth wobble and other concepts which I will pursue in another post to follow.
If a $1.2 Trillion (US) national debt sounds like a lot, he thinks that we might be on the way to spend about $27 Trillion for the wrong reasons.
