I'm not sure I'm a very good source of advice since we're kind of making this up as we go along.

Scientists had said, "If you keep burning coal and gas and oil, you will melt the Arctic." And then the Arctic melted just as they had predicted. Did Shell Oil look at the melt and say, "Huh, maybe we should go into the solar-panel business instead?" No, Shell Oil looked at that and said, "Oh, well, now that it's melted it will be easier to drill for more oil up there." That's enough to make you doubt about the big brain being a good adaptation.

A price on carbon sufficient to keep 80% of current reserves underground, rebated directly to citizens.

Irene's got a middle name, and it's Global Warming.

At least I sure hope it will - and I see good signs all the time, especially in things like the rise of local agriculture.

It is a complete embarrassment and literally shameful that the country that first of all invented environmentalism and gave it to the world, and second of all did all the science originally around climate and global warming and presented that to the world, has been the country that has refused to participate in a constructive way to the solution.

Global warming is no longer a philosophical threat, no longer a future threat, no longer a threat at all. It's our reality.
