“The Inmost is one with the Inmost; yet the form of the One is not the form of the other; intimacy exacts fitness. He therefore who liveth by air, let him not be bold to breathe water. But mastery cometh by measure: to him who with labour, courage, and caution giveth his life to understand all that doth encompass him, and to prevail against it, shall be increase.

“But it is a fallacy, if one is examining the methods by which security can be attained, to start upon the assumption, as so many hon.

“This generation has altered the composition of the atmosphere on a global scale through radioactive materials and a steady increase in carbon dioxide from the burning of fossil fuels. Entire regional airsheds, crop plant environments, and river basins are heavy with noxious materials. Motor vehicles and home heating plants, municipal dumps and factories continually hurl pollutants into the air we breathe. Each day almost 50,000 tons of unpleasant, and sometimes poisonous, sulfur dioxide are added to the atmosphere, and our automobiles produce almost 300,000 tons of other pollutants.” SometimesHomeEnvironmentGenerationsAirProduceMaterialsRiversIncreasePlantClimate ChangeHeavyBreatheScalesBurningAtmosphereFuelEach DaySteadyFactoriesVehicleCompositionCarbonFossilsMotorCropsAutomobileAlteredFossil FuelDumpPoisonousThis GenerationCarbon DioxideHeatingSulfurMotor Vehicles Author:Lyndon B.

“It's an attitude of superiority. We are superior to the rest of life. The Book of Genesis says: 'Increase and multiply and have dominion over the birds of the air and the animals and so forth.' You run it; it's yours; do what you like with it. I don't know how old that text is, but it represents an attitude that probably really got going with the beginning of agriculture. Before that, the hunter-gatherers were gentler people than the agriculture.” PeopleKnowsBookRunningAnimalAttitudeKnow HowAirBirdIncreaseSuperiorsAgricultureSuperiorityHuntersDominionGenesisRest Of LifeHunter GatherersBook Of Genesis Author:W.

“We've lost half the summer sea ice in the Arctic. We've wiped out an enormous percentage of the world's coral reefs. We see huge changes in the planet's hydrology already, the cycles of drought and flood both amped up because warm air holds more water vapor than cold. These things are happening with a one-degree increase and going to two degrees won't be twice as bad, the increase in damage won't be linear, it most certainly will be exponential. So it was precisely the wrong moment to elect Trump.” WorldTwoMomentsLostWaterHalfAirSeaPlanetsHugeColdTrumpDegreesSummerHappeningsIncreaseWarmEnormousIceDamageCyclesFloodPercentagesLinearDroughtArcticReefsVaporCoral ReefsHuge Changes Author:Bill McKibben
