Dear Jonathan, I agree with you entirely. I think John Scull is mistaken in saying: If we are going to slow global climate change, we will do it through political and social action, not through our individual decisions Everything we do makes a difference, even our thoughts, and the vibrations given off by our mental and emotional states. I would even go as far as to agree with those who claim that climate change is primarily a spiritual crisis, because it is the direct result of distorted values, priorities and motivations - leading to disastrous choices and actions.
