“The vast majority of scientists agree that global warming is real, it’s already happening and that it is the result of our activities and not a natural occurrence.

As the author points out, we need to explore the underlying assumptions and beliefs that have led us to this critical stage.

Many of you may have heard of the heartbreaking story about a nun named Sister Cindy Mahoney who passed away recently. She spent five months at Ground Zero blessing remains at the World Trade Center.
