Don’t mess with Mother Nature

I Just finished a piece from the National Post by Rex Murphy regarding Justin Trudeau and environmentalists being fear-mongers and alarmists. Guess he would call this quote by Ecotech’s Rob Watson as fear-mongering; he said, “We need to use the one faculty that distinguishes us human beings — the ability to imagine. We need to fully grasp the non-linear, unmanageable climate events that could unfold in our lifetime. Because if we hit the wall, there will be no seat-belts or airbags, and we will end up being a bad biological experiment on the planet.”

Mother Nature “is just chemistry, biology, and physics,” Watson likes to say. “Everything she does is just the sum of those three things. She’s completely amoral. She doesn’t care about poetry or art or whether you go to church. You can’t negotiate with her, and you can’t spin her and you can’t evade her rules. All you can do is fit in as a species. And when a species doesn’t learn to fit in with Mother Nature, it gets kicked out.”

It’s that simple, said Watson, and that’s why “every day you look in the mirror now, you’re seeing an endangered species.”

Northern peoples have understood this for several decades. Rex Murphy would benefit from a visit to Canada’s North. They would set him straight with their keen observations of how things have changed in their homelands over the last 30 to 40 years! Stephen Hawking would have had a few things to say to Rex, too! Those climate scientists who continue to monitor the Greenland icecap might have a few words as well.

Maybe Andy Wells, Sarah Palin and Kevin O’leary could join Rex on his trip North! I once heard O’leary say on “Dragon’s Den,” “Man, you can’t fool with Mother Nature.”

Oh the irony!
