In reply to: gumtree (listening to Praetorius, pardon my quote...) 's message, "As recently as late 1800s, folk were ice skating on the Thames - in London, no less, during the most notoriously polluted periods for that fine city. In the desert, not but a few hundred miles from where you live, spoot, lies the remains of a once thriving community that relied on agriculture in the surrounding area. There is growing evidence that there was once a vast and complex civilization living in what is now the Brazilian rainforest - apparently was once a much more varied landscape. While we should be concerned about the relatively short-term impacts of our sojourn on this planet, Gaia has endured and thrived under mush worse than we can do, barring Dr. Strangelove events. Fond hope is that we will soon find a way to plant our flag on another globe, and not have all oour eggs in one planetary basket. The gestalt is that the old mother is constantly changing - our short span on this globe is hardly an indication; contrary to Alberti, man is not the measure of all things." on 00:59:41 06/23/01 Sat
