It is with a true regret that I wish to let those of you who are concerned with the declining state of our home world that: As far as I know, it has just been announced that the first documented case of the
death of polar bears due to the effects of global warming is confirmed.As polar bears exist hunting from the polar ice, and as the warming of the polar sea and the air only allows the existence of ice farther out at sea; a female bear, with a yearling cub, entered the water to
swim to the ice...far out of sight. The female adult made it to her
destination...nine days later after swimming 470+ miles, and losing 107
pounds of her body mass. The cub was lost.Can anyone explain to me how a species of such power and grandeur, that endures such incredible hardship as a way of life; where the young die within the first year of life to the tune of 50%...can possibly
survive as a species if the remaining 50% of their (usually) two cubs
is killed this way? Yeah, rhetorical question, but I am still
wondering how this can happen during MY watch? Despite all I try to
do...and get others to do to stop and reverse these trends? This does
not bode well...

Look again at that dot. That's here. That's home. That's us. On it everyone you love, everyone you know, everyone you ever heard of, every human being who ever was, lived out their lives. The aggregate of our joy and suffering, thousands of confident religions, ideologies, and economic doctrines, every hunter and forager, every hero and coward, every creator and destroyer of civilization, every king and peasant, every young couple in love, every mother and father, hopeful child, inventor and explorer, every teacher of morals, every corrupt politician, every "superstar", every "supreme leader", every saint and sinner in the history of our species lived there — on a mote of dust suspended in a sunbeam.
