I hope its not to late either. I am hoping I am being paranoid but I think I am seeing the start of the feedback loop that scientists are trying to warn us about. Especially in regards to methane in the arttics and Siberia.

Curious hows the weather in your nick of the woods or is it desert??? I am in central USA by the great lakes. Been lot of nice nights but turns cloudy as soon as sun comes over horizon and clearing 3/4 of the day through or as soon as son goes down over the horizon again. I don't ever remember it doing that growing up. Dry, as well been getting rain just not enough.

Come to the right place to express your concerns welcome

I'd just started a Google Group called GREEN INVESTMENTS and Fabian joined and posted the July SustainabilityForum newsletter there. Thanks Fabian.

I belong to an e-group (correct definition?) called Compass Network, a forum about communicating sustainability. Fabian introduced Sustainability Forum to this network. The reason I haven't posted anything is that I don't know how. I'm not a geek so I find it extremely difficult to navigate these group things. So complicated! Don't call me a techno-phobe, because the definition of a phobia is an irrational fear. Yahoo is particularly infuriating. Thank you Sustainability Forum for allowing me to use my own name and password at least. I need lessons on how different kinds of groups work, why some send emails, others not, why I'm not allowed just to "reply", etc. what does thread mean? Is there a glossary of terminology? It took me ages to find this space. How do I introduce myself?
