Frustrating for me and others as well. I am pretty much ignorant on the science of all this. The issue has become so political and so alarmist that it is hard to determine the most reasonable course. I had a work colleague predicting a full Greenland thaw in 10 years that will flood New York City based on an article he read in the mainstream media. I'm supposed to believe this stuff?

Religion rises inevitably from our apprehension of our own death. To give meaning to meaninglessness is the endless quest of all religion. When death becomes the center of our consciousness, then religion authentically begins. Of all religions that I know, the one that most vehemently and persuasively defies and denies the reality of death is the original Mormonism of the Prophet, Seer and Revelator, Joseph Smith.
