WALKING ON THIN ICE

Just found this site this morning. Corporate scientists are trying to capitalize on the huge deposits of frozen methane beneath the arctic:

Meanwhile other scientists are worried that the arctic’s melting is going to release these into the atmosphere all at once in a big methane “burp” that will depopulate the planet. They say it’s melting faster than predicted, that some of the gases are being released, and it’s all much worse, much worse than we imagined and the time line to doomsday scenario is fast forwarded into the rapidly shrinking future: http://www.mindfully.org/Air/2004/Methane-Arctic-Warming16dec04.htm

Corporate scientists work at cross purposes from whistleblowers and the common good. Specialization results in totally oblivious perspectives without needed ethical oversight or holistic evaluation. Humanity’s consumption and obliviousness is much like bottom trawling fishing. Politicians are moorless protectors.

I don’t know why I have faith enough to create in all this bad fate.

I feel different lately. More relaxed from Mexico and a renewed sense of purpose in writing. Every three days I destroy my mind with substances and then I let it build it back up again and sometimes I am paranoid I won’t come back, but lately I bounce back and I’m this different creature with thoughts aspiring to newsprint’s expanded consciousness wrapped around the web. I’m a bit uptight about our soon to come visit to the States.
