In Los Angeles people are attributed to living 4 months longer now that particulate in the air has been reduced. The real present and future hazard to humanity is particulate in the atmosphere. The type that is produced from volcanoes, meteorite strikes, and pollution.

As a species we have very little written history. So after looking at the ice cores and tree rings it is evident that the earth has experienced prolonged winters for periods of years. These were caused by particulate blocking out the sun. It has happened in the past and it is probable it will happen again.

Can you imagine a year without any grain, fruit, or vegetable production on the planet. Most all plant life in a state of dormancy and death. Now multiply it over few years. Famine and exodus out of the farm belts of the continents to the sea for food. Loss of life and epidemic disease in a massive proportion, this is our real danger.

If this happened now millions would perish. We need a plan to advert disaster when this time comes, and it most likely will. The world seed banks are a great example of preserving the diversified species of plant life on our planet.

What else can we do as individuals, In our communities, our countries, and our world to reduce the trauma of this coming event?
