What is the price of money?
Opher – 1.3.2020
We are already starting to pay the price for global warming. The climate is changing as a result of the things we are doing. The hurricanes, droughts, forest fires, floods, heatwaves and migrations.
Of course, there are those still in denial, who claim these are natural events and not a result of anything we are doing.
They are wrong.
The science tells us most clearly – unless we change our ways the worst is yet to come.
The deniers are leading us down a path to destruction!
Opher – A thoughtful poem to ponder.
Is there clear distinction between value and worth?
Why does our Earth spin on an axis of fool’s gold?
With a world population growing exponentially, how might we cater for ever increasing demand for goods and services if not by utilising Earth’s natural resources? How do we achieve balance between conflicting/competing needs, and on what basis do we determine and allocate priority when resources are finite?

Interesting questions Neil. Some things are beyond value – like life on this planet.
