How to cope

MadPriest sent me an email today with the following message:

BBC breaking news alert:
Global temperatures will rise by 3C by 2100 and sea levels will increase by 18cm to 59cm, UN climate report predicts.

Are we going to act in time to save the planet? Sometimes I really suffer over that question. But I am consoled by something Gilda Radner said while fighting cancer:

I wanted a perfect ending. Now I've learned, the hard way, that some poems don't rhyme, and some stories don't have a clear beginning, middle, and end. Life is about not knowing, having to change, taking the moment and making the best of it, without knowing what's going to happen next.

We don't know what's going to happen next. But we need to try as hard as we can to save our beautiful, damaged world.
