It is unseasonably warm for winter in July. Even though we are past the deepest part of winter, there is no way that I should be sporting a t-shirt in the back yard, nor riding my bike with just a hoodie for an overcoat. Anecdotal evidence is usually not good evidence, but allied with the concerning weather in the northern hemisphere, it carries greater weight.

It may be too late for the human experiment to be salvaged, I don't know. As a Christian I have hopes beyond what we perceive with our senses, or comprehend with our minds. That same hope is also a spur to action - you cannot help the needy, the homeless or the oppressed if you are not interested in the stewardship of the planet. They will be the first affected by the decline of our environment.

There are many good people working towards a better outcome, but are there enough? And where is the time going?
