Planet Change

It's not global warming. It's more than that.  It's not climate change. It's more than that, too.

It is Planet Change.

Sure, the planet is warming, ice is melting, and the weather is changing. But the oceans are becoming acidic, ecosystems are being altered, species are becoming extinct.  Less well known are the adverse affects on human health and food supply.  We will see social disruption with unprecedented numbers of migrants pushing the limits of our collective will to compassionately help fellow human beings suffering the effects of planet change.

It was bond to happen sooner or later.  Something had to get out of hand.  We thought it might be nuclear weapons.  But it was simply the unsustainability of our everyday way of life, doing things without regard to the scope, the future.  The planet turned out to be smaller than we liked to think. 

Bottom line: Planet change encompasses more than temperature and climate change effects.
