The folks who think evil scientists are conspiring to steal the world's money and power really worry me. We need to move on to renewable sources of energy, and those who are not with the consensus of study and analysis need to step aside. What the deniers don't realize is that they are simply afraid of change. The best analysis, which is what scientists try very hard to supply, tells us that the time to optimize our chances was at least 20 years ago, but if not that, we need to start now to cut back strongly on adding to our warm "blanket". The question for each reader is, how long will it take you to open your mind to a shift in the world as we know it. I first saw this coming 1 1/2 years ago. A few saw it 50 years ago - when will you, the reader, gather real facts and realize the seriousness of our position here on earth, whether it is coming in the next five years, or the next 20 years. Planning ahead, and action, are needed now to anticipate problems arising in 10 to 20 years. Time to come back to a fully-engaged life to face this challenge.
