Scientists now say the arctic ice cap is melting even faster than previously predicted, although there seems to have built up a growing band of global warming deniers, who presumably for their own reasons are not keen to take on board the results of the boffins' research.
The season here (UK MIdlands) on the organic eco micro-holding (small smallholding) has been pretty late due probably to lack of summer sun. Even the swallows were late away on their epic 6000 mile migration, and many of the usual micro-holding crops have been late maturing, which seems to tie in with farmers' experience this year.
Reflecting on man's relationship with nature, it seems evident many individuals have strong connections with it, which presumably come from an internal source, maybe connected to David Attenborough (well-known UK naturalist) 's assertion that all animal life is related having common single-cell ancestors. Maybe this could help explain the aversion some people feel to 'exploitive' systems of animal keeping over-geared to man's needs at the expense of animals' natural needs and behaviours, the observation of which can then give a 'reflective glow'.
