Climate Change & Universal Interdependence

The International Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) has provided the strongest non-aligned assessment of the impact of global warming on the planetary systems we depend upon for most of our existence. In additional to the sheer strain on daily physical life, there are certain spiritual ramifications to this potentially catastrophic situation.

My weekend whimsical trip to Kelleys Island, Ohio was certainly a stark reminder for me about the current dramatic conditions in the Great Lakes area. Some folks making the trek with me thru the heavily wooded nature trail part of the island stopped to look for treasures along the shore. A year ago they would have been looking for things six feet back toward the shore line.

On the southeastern shore, the images were also dramatic. Last year the water line was at the grass line.
