If Henrik Svensmark, astrophysicist from Denmark ,is correct(and he is the most credible scientist I have heard on this subject) the problem of climate change may be in the midst of self-correcting! That is because the sun’s activity is settling down and the cosmic rays which help produce cloud cover are increasing.So we may well be panicking for nothing as we did about the milennial problem in 2000! At the base of this discussion ,is this anthropocentric hubris that thinks man is at the source of all problems and solutions.There are cosmic forces at play here-way beyond man’s capacity to intervene. This does not mean that we are not in the midst of destroying the planet through our indifference to chemicals and pollutants of all sorts,many of which are carcinogenic!, but that is a matter for another and perhaps ultimately more important discussion

.PS I like individual geniuses like Newton and Einstein and the great Sufis like Jellalluddin Rumi.They remind me of our Prophets like Mohammed and Jesus and Moses who came down, individually, with a deep-seated truth that elevated us all.I despise “group-think” whether it is conservative or so-called progressive.It reminds me of Fascism and nationalist and religious bigiotry.
