“…where his death is nature’s debt repaid in full now, for it was ever borrowed time while it lasted…” ventured the goblin moved by what he had just read, adding “…but I guess too that I’m like him though, I mean I spent years catching my mother’s slow slide into dementia, but never once would I envisage my children supporting me in that manner, not that it’s pride on my part, nor cowardice neither, more it’s just that it would dash my dream I hold of their happiness, and besides, doesn’t one have to die sometime of something then, might as well make it dying for those one loves here, you miss him for sure but you must be proud of him too, or am I missing something, tell me more if you like…”
by now the goblin had read xxxxx’s second post here, end offered a hug of sorts, and then smiled, probably seeing himself there and how he himself would like to be like her father too, adding “…to be honest, the default of a man is ever “off” isn’t it, no, these circumstances keep one here perhaps but the point of life was never longevity in itself, no it was to fight on till all dignity and purpose was gone from one, as in spent perhaps, and then to wisely join one’s comrades one’s parents and old one's friends too off the battlefield so to speak, for one doesn’t leave here until the spirit is ready, all meaning that to kill oneself during battle is such a betrayal, a cold callous selfish action that sows doubt and pain amongst those left behind as to whether they caused it or as to whether it could have been prevented too, but no, your father’s case was the opposite, clearly his spirit was ready and they’re all together now, just that that is life’s debt I suppose, where we’ll all be together at some point, for we all belong in our own time as some debt paid perhaps…”
"...global warming is only part of the onward climatic destabilization here..." mentioned the goblin, adding "...better would be to focus upon post glacial rebound now, why so, well perhaps because when they tell us on the media that the sealevel is rising at half a meter a year in the maldives, or at the bikini atoll then, simply you and I both know that the sea can't rise somewhere alone without there being a uniform sealevel rise across the board, as explained in if you have a bath then rather obviously your bathwater goes up on alls sides of your bath equally, likewise then the sea is just a big bath where global sealevel rise is less than 1cm per year, so now if the sealevel isn't rising 50cm a year and yet clearly you observe that those island disappearing under the waves, what becomes the obvious truth they're hiding from you, yes that's right, not that the sealevel is rising but that the seabed is sinking, subduction in other words...", in fact, global warming was secondary here, the main player would be the tectonic awakening, whereupon the goblin just sighed "...eighty volcanoes erupting last year is unprecedented, earthquake up by 600% in ten year too, I mean if you want to know what even one volcano can do, join the dots between 1783 laki eruption and the french revolution, and, if the katla volcano goes off now europe won't be worrying about global warming any time soon, and let's not think about yellowstone here or the fact that the new madrid fault line sleeps below 40 nuclear reactors today, where fukushima is ten times bigger than chernobyl but is minor in comparison to what in store if either the new madrid faultline were to quake or yellowstone were to errupt..."
"...first, tell me what you know about post glacial warming, why the 80 volcanoes went off last year, and why we have 500% more earthquakes today than ten years ago..." smiled the goblin, adding "...you see it's not so much temperature as the weight of water upon the seafloor that counts where 1 cubic mtr of water weighs a ton and where you can imagine what 14trigar tons of ice melting into the sea in three years has done..."
