Before getting into this climate story it would be valuable to remember that the presence of humans on earth compared to its total timeline/existence is minuscule. The anthropocene timeline is so present, as it should be, seen through the lens of mere generations, decades, years. The panic is understandable but only when looking through the magnifying glass of man. " I do not know much about gods; but I think that the river is a strong brown god - sullen, untamed and intractable, Patient to some degree, at first recognized as a frontier, Useful, untrustworthy, as a conveyor of commerce, Then only a problem confronting the builder of bridges. " T.S. Eliot
