Another excerpt from May 20:
"I offer these comments not to scare you, or to motivate you, but just to inform you of the reality that you live in. You think that this is an abnormality or just a blip on the forecast, or in the history of your world’s weather in the last two-hundred years, and you pacify yourselves thinking it will go away—and it may for five years, but it may come back as a lion at your door, with a growl and a roar and tear your house apart. Be prepared. You live in an evolutionary, developing and balancing world. The mechanics of your world are one thing to deal with; you have yet to live with a new biology as well.
The changes will affect your economies, monetary systems, and your commerce throughout the world. You must devise models for reconstructing what was destroyed. This has happened many times to smaller communities, to smaller cultures, to smaller civilizations, but this time it will affect your whole world. Your world is so inter-related and inter-dependant that major destruction in one area will have devastating and powerful effects far removed from that area, geographically and economically. These conditions will be further exacerbated by the vying for resources in a highly over-populated world that is mechanically developed and materially acquisitive. You are living on the edge."
