Eight Billion

Daily Note

Every day, a photograph, a poem. Today we took a longer drive in the sunshine and captured this lovely view of Rebecca Lake on the Colville Reservation.

A lovely view of the sun, who should live eight billion years, but, with climate change, how will humans fare? It’s in our hands.

and so, a poem

Eight Billion

Eight billion years
the sun will shine;
Will Man on earth
survive that time?

I know the land is drying up and burning. NASA has a wonderful Climate Change site, including solutions. Take a look at these Before / After images:

• California Rice Drought
• Vanishing Great Salt Lake, Utah
• Diminishing Lake Powell, AZ
• Decline of Lake Powell, AZ
• Disappearing Lake Mead, NV
• Shrinking Lake Shasta, CA
• Parched Poyang Lake, China
• Declining Peyto Glacier, Banff National Park, Canada

So, it seems we should be doing something– or those great-great-great grandkids you wonder about, may not even be born. So very sad.
