of nearly 7
billion people, Dr. Hansen and you, Andy (among
others who have stayed more in the background) were in the right place at the right time

this has evolved into major research ------ as in many
people have their fingers into the pie ---- a huge pie ----
billions ---- and all
of these will be out
of work if the truth was to come out ---- many are blind to the truth and do not want to hear it ------ for it will mean they are out
of a job ------ Note the Climate change
people do not want to use Satellite data ------ it is not corrected ---- but want to use the ground based monitors ---- which are corrected for location caused errors ---- by humans ------

By 2090, as many as 2
billion people globally will be breathing air above the WHO «safe» level; one paper last month showed that, among

of autism (as much as tenfold, combined
with other environmental factors).
When we speak
of hotter periods in the paleoclimate record or more absorption
of radiation and
other historical - pre-historical climate conditions, keep in mind that 6.6

of agriculture, and urbanization) both in way
of climate and economics has changed dramatically.
In short, and you've heard TreeHugger and many

That's not very efficient, and if it came to having massive food shortages in the future, I think that phasing in a more vegetarian diet could help solve that problem - along

with more ease than trying to build enough
of these vertical farms to feed all these
billions of people and the dozens
of billions of animals they would eat.
It's worth remembering just what we're hoping to leave behind: a network

people, and an easy way to share what's on your mind — arguably easier and less intimidating than any
