"From the darkness, sleeping light." Formerly luminus dormiens. Lux pacis, light of peace.

Quote: "Sometimes I think the surest sign that intelligent life exists elsewhere in the universe is that none of it has tried to contact us." --Bill Watterson, cartoonist, Calvin and Hobbes

MSNBC - Amazon trees don't grow like they used to

MSNBC - Amazon trees don't grow like they used to:
"The scientists suspect the rising carbon dioxide levels are fertilizing the rainforests and increasing competition for light, water and nutrients in the soil. So the big fast-growing trees have an advantage and are outpacing the smaller ones."


The butterfly effect. More CO2 might be good for the plants, but it still affects the environment in strange new ways. We are effectively left defenseless.

Yet, what can we do? Ford turns to Toyota for hybrid car help. It is a sign of progress? Just a step-by-step progression toward resolving our place on this earth?

Indeed.
