My first foray into reselling was less than smooth, thanks to Ebay's
ridiculous policy where they allow people to bid on an item and then back out without consequences.
In 1996 I defined the turning point of the discussion about climate science (the point
where we could actually start talking about
policy) as the date when the Wall Street Journal would acknowledge the indisputable and apparent fact of anthropogenic climate change; the year in which it would simply be
ridiculous to deny it.
