@Infoseepage @petergleick oh, but it's "endemic" now, which means it is harmless, right?

as for the climate. it is literally depressing to see how little most anyone gives a damn. my favourite folly. building the Thames Barrier higher because of sea level rises. sure London will be kept dry.

how many coastal towns and cities will be underwater if that happens? now turn it global.

and then loss of agricultural land. we like to eat, right?

as i said last eve, later today i am going to release some CO2 into the atmosphere and open a beer or two. the species will just have to sort this out themselves.
