As little as we know about our universe and even our own solar system, it would appear that even greater levels of ignorance and misinformation is always at hand about Earth itself. Perhaps you've encountered stories (innuendo, deceit, pseudoscience or perhaps even validated) about the current condition of our planet. Climate change evokes powerful feelings of self-accreditation, generational employment and ambivalence. Beyond a small number of people actively involved in the study of climactic data, many people are willing to allow their own lives to proceed without much concern for such things. It is my own position that the symbiotic relationship between the inhabitants of Earth and the planet itself must be considered to be sacrosanct. This "Pale, Blue Dot" is home. It is the only one we have ever known. It is the only one we may possibly ever know.

Whether you agree or disagree with the conclusions that have been publicized, it would be beneficial to you to review what I consider to be as primary data elements from credible sources. As such, I am enclosing a link to the most recent Earth temperature data I can find or have access to at this time.

With each succeeding year now achieving the 'hottest year on record' now at an alarming pace, I urge you to read, study, understand and grasp the consequences of our inaction. Those of us in the Baby Boomer generation (1946-1964, roughly) will die before catastrophic levels are achieved but it is highly probable that future generations will live vastly different than before under stressful conditions. It is for them that we must become better stewards of our world.
