Hi All,

After studying climate and considering this for a long time.  This is undoubtedly the most pressing issue of public concern and attention in our and our following generations lifetimes.  Pretty much everything else is window dressing with the exception of full-scale atomic war.  I disagree with Martin, evolution will take care of itself independent of our thoughts and actions.  The pending climatic consequences are likely severe, and the time frames are beyond human comprehension and social scope of action, which translates to lack of audience and funding framework for museums. 

I'm more than willing to help.
