"If you're going to fall, fall on your butt. It's a lot easier than falling on your face."

Sage words of wisdom. As billy suggested, it's hard to imagine how we can reverse what is already happing. Adaptation and learning how to be more resilient (which Americans are decidedly not) are keys to our survival...if it's still in the cards.

Something for Mr. Cole to consider: If there aren't enough records to verify any correct analysis, how do we know whether or not climate change at this rate is unprecedented? If we can never know if it is, wouldn't it be prudent to error on the side that this is unprecedented, and do something about it for the sake of future generations?

One man's analysis and record keeping in the Rockies proves somewhere near zero. Don't have long enough records to verify any correct analysis. The planet has gone from hot to cold and cold to warm and back to cold over eon periods of geological history.

I say interestingly enough emissions from any type of fossil fuel is usually the blame. Too many cars and trucks on the road, to burning fireplaces, etc. Products to keep us all beautiful such as aerosol formulated cosmetics sometime get a bad rap. But, what is actually putting more into the protective layer that surrounds our planet? Surprisingly enough it is livestock. You never hear much about that subject because there is too much money in it. If you follow the money you will get a true picture of our state of being. if we all became vegetarians, there would be less pollution and enough food to feed the world. Water of course is another subject for a later discussion. Good for billy with a small b. Live simple and carry a small stick.

Perhaps the temperature and rainfall records that I'm keeping will serve a greater purpose some day...

His amazing dedication, and meticulous records have given us another reason to pay sufficient attention to our affect on the world around us,and thereby understand what a profound effect we have on nature.

More of a question -- what led billy to withdraw from society and live life as a hermit in the middle of very challenging weather conditions? Inspiring that one person can make a difference, although that did not seem to be explored in any depth in the video because I'm not real up on climate change so not really clear on how billy's research has proven invaluable.

billy has always inspired me. Thank you for your dedication to the special places around RMBL.

One person's passion making a difference. Thank you Billy!

Billy's simple way of living and connection with nature is inspiring.

His simple but convicted living.

Billy's dedication and persistence. And internal strength.
