And how many people enjoyed good times with those songs. And how much those songs really mean. I think it would be great to have written one of those songs.

And I'm only one person.
Stephen ChboskyThe bleak truth is that, under normal conditions, most of North America and Europe are buried under about 1.5km of ice. This bitterly frigid climate is interrupted occasionally by brief warm interglacials, typically lasting less than 10,000 years. The interglacial we have enjoyed throughout recorded human history, called the Holocene, began 11,000 years ago, so the ice is overdue, Chapman wrote.
