350 Is The Upper Limit
"If humanity wishes to preserve a planet similar to that on which civilization developed and to which life on earth is adapted... CO2 will need to be reduced from its current 385 ppm to at most 350 ppm."

If I Ever Lose My Faith

In You

Has it really been 24 years? I truly never expected so much time to pass without us. To put it mildly, to understate it emphatically, to whisper it to the world so they all will hear

I miss you.

You have a birthday this week, proving once again that some women really do get better with the passage of time. I wish I could celebrate it with you, but since I cannot, I hope you’ll take just a few minutes, enjoy this video by Sting and know that I am thinking of you…

If I Ever Lose My Faith In You – Sting

You could say I lost my faith in science and progress
You could say I lost my belief in the holy church
You could say I lost my sense of direction
You could say all of this and worse but

If I ever lose my faith in you
There’d be nothing left for me to do

Some would say I was a lost man in a lost world
You could say I lost my faith in the people on TV
You could say I’d lost my belief in our politicians
They all seemed like game show hosts to me

If I ever lose my faith in you
There’d be nothing left for me to do

I could be lost inside their lies without a trace
But every time I close my eyes I see your face

I never saw no miracle of science
That didn’t go from a blessing to a curse
I never saw no military solution
That didn’t always end up as something worse but
Let me say this first

If I ever lose my faith in you
There’d be nothing left for me to do

I am Jon, and I miss you.
(Happy birthday!)
