The Earth Speaks its own Language

Is the earth speaking to humankind?
Is human action upon climate change making hurricanes worse?

Geo-logos (earth writing) posits the earth speaks its own language, e.g. in the form of motion. See video where science reveals in its casual knowledge (data) profound changes which poetry captures best, e.g., the increase in rain with the warming of the oceans.
                                    



Here is an excerpt of the first few stanza's of A.R. Ammons, "Expressions of Sea Level" (Ohio State Univ. Press, 1963). Here we perceive an ecological consciousness in which individual and collective actions have far reaching consequences. 

Peripherally the ocean
marks itself
against the gauging land
it erodes and
builds:

it is hard to name
the changeless:
speech without words,
silence renders it:
and mid-ocean,

sky sealed unbroken to sea,
there is no way to know
the ocean's speech,
intervolved and markless,
