I'm trying to answer all the comments and yours is certainly the most interesting. I really appreciate your readership. We don't always agree but I have tremendous respect for you as a person and a thinker.

Thank you for rereading the pieces and picking out the arguments that resonated with you. I found the conclusions you reached from my arguments to be fascinating.

Your last point is really well made and I intend to use it. You took the implications of my arguments and spun them out in a way I had not considered.

Thank you for that new insight. It really clarifies what the most significant effect is going to be. The decisive crisis is going to be changes in where the rains/water goes.

Which is actually what has always tanked our civilizations. Now that I think about it. This isn't new. It's just the all encompassing nature of it that's hard to get your head around.

Where the rains/water goes is about to change for everywhere on the planet. All at once and very rapidly.

That's what's going to take us down.
