Abstract
It would be inappropriate here to discuss issues of climate and climate change in detail, and no significant contribution to the debate would be made. However, this is such a major influence of past, present, and future ecologies, that a mention and consideration of some pertinent aspects of this are necessary. The accepted fact that we are now in a phase of major climatic flux, no matter how caused, has huge implications for the processes of eco-fusion.
