They put my mom on dialysis at Methodist yesterday. I'll be flying into Houston on Saturday.
First time I have ever really been afraid to fly.
I'm going to do my best to convince my sister to get out of Ft. Bend county. Wish me luck.

That's what they want.
Now the question is, who are they?

You know, THEM. 
Not the first time I've had to do something that was kinda scary. Mom needs me.

Seems sort of something where you have really no option to back out of it seems.
Just read an article in the German where the first time they move into a tone of 'no hope' (es gibt keinen Grund zur Hoffnung) when it comes to climate change. For me as an old PeakOiler this is refreshing. I can't stand these statements that if WE (whoever that is) don't do anything within the next 10 years everyting is lost, Bla, Bla, Bla.
Reality probably is that the game has been lost way far more back than we expect. The Romans were responsible for the deforestation of the Mediteranian Sea, the blue print of the current matrix stems from ancient times! It is not about conservation, being better than your neighbor in recycling or driving or not driving a SUV. Conservation just pushes the peak further ahead. And as much as this does buy one time in the world of finance (going in debt), the pay-back will be even worse which is probably what James Lovelock tries to communicate in his new book, the Revenge of Gaia.
So the Greenland Ice Cap will melt during the historically super short time span of the next 100 years. Even if all burning of hydrocarbons would stop 100% tomorrow the effect of the last 150 years of buring wood, coal and its derivatives is bound to hit hard.Spiegel online |

Thanks roger. I just bumped this again to remind myself why I won't be afraid.
My sincere thanks.
