| My focus for many years has been climate change. Ring of Fire sounds a dire warning of rising seas and a failing diversity of crops. Humanity may be witnessing its last days on Earth while the Earth’s silent celestial companion watches from afar. The doomsday clock is ticking. Pull the cast iron handles and the innards of an old wall clock sounds the alarm just minutes before the hands on the antique pocket watch strike twelve. |
