Mary, where do you stand in the great Hambling debate? Personally, I think it's rather wonderful.  |

What is good it that the earth is able to regenerate itself after we polute it etc. Obviously you know something the rest of us don't. |

I think it's totally wonderful! Just what I would have done if only I'd thought of it......  Everyone I know who has seen it agrees with me. |

We are so lucky that the earth is so beautiful. There are natural purlple colours and yellow and the white cliff is amazing. What is good it that the earth is able to regenerate itself after we polute it etc.
We are so lucky to see the world, the earth, stars and cosmos, and we are lucky to have each other.
www.[edited].org is the answer Though,far more likely, we all die from global warming and then the planet repairs itself. |

Well that's certainly AN answer, though I suspect that the vast majority of people including myself would find it a particularly mean-spirited and stupid one.

May I recommend www.loe.org from NPR in the States. Really useful on what Bush is trying to weasel out of environmentally, but also imho heartening local iniatives. They also talk to UK correspondents from time to time and delve into eco-arty matters sometimes too. |

During Soviet times there was no fish in lakes and rivers and now after collaps of the economy fish regenerated itself because there is less polution in some places.
Earth had many catastrophs and regenerated itself. It takes a long time (especially with nuclear material).
Now they found a new planet and may be human race will migrate there. At one point our son is going to die anyway.
I sound so positive lately that it is scary. I suppose one can either concentrate on negative and think that everything is bad or positive. The best way if to be in the middle, but I have a problem staying there (may be there is a slop there).

Dear T-P! I do hope your son lives for many productive years. Astronomers say that our sun* will enter the final phase of its cycle in something like fifty million years which should be plenty of time to develop a means of travel between other star systems that doesn't involve all that tedious mucking about in hyperspace. I rather fancy the Stargate idea.. *despite the occasional confusion with letters I admire your ability to write using an alphabet which is substantially different from the one you grew up with! |

I am so ashamed of my spelling. The alphabet is not a problem, but my mind is not good and my memory and my attention etc etc etc Stargate sounds like a good idea to me.  I think that human race will go to another planet with time. |

James Lovelock says it is too late and we are doomed, and I asked a friend of his, and she confirmed he believes that.
WE are the problem !

"Sea-Fever"
I must down to the seas again, to the lonely sea and the sky,
And all I ask is a tall ship and a star to steer her by,
And the wheel's kick and the wind's song and the white sail's shaking,
And a grey mist on the sea's face, and a grey dawn breaking.
I must down to the seas again, for the call of the running tide
Is a wild call and a clear call that may not be denied;
And all I ask is a windy day with the white clouds flying,
And the flung spray and the blown spume, and the sea-gulls crying.
I must down to the seas again, to the vagrant gypsy life,
To the gull's way and the whale's way where the wind's like a whetted knife;
And all I ask is a merry yarn from a laughing fellow-rover
And quiet sleep and a sweet dream when the long trick's over.
By John Masefield (1878-1967).
(English Poet Laureate, 1930-1967.)
