Folks, nature is telling us something. How many "100-year" storms or "1,000-year" floods will it take for us to listen? Humans have boosted the concentration of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere by a shocking 40 percent since the beginning of the Industrial Revolution, when we started burning fossil fuels on a large scale.

Megan Boone is taking a course on this stuff. We, like Megan, know there is global warming, but despite all of our combined efforts here in the U.S. and the money we have shown we are willing to spend, it appears that most of the rest of the world doesn't seem to be as committed. I doubt that Megan will be able to get them to shut off their engines or keep wasting their stuff.
Megan is like the little old woman that said;
Every little bit helps, as she peed in the sea.
The difference in my views and Megan's views is fifty years.
