You know that I respect you, Richard, but what's your point? Actually, the recent James Hansen et.al. paper on climate change includes the C3S data: global ave. surface temps have increased 0.4 degC in just the past 2 yrs., so 0.2 degC annually, which takes us to the very troubling 3 degC increase over the 1991-2020 baseline by 2032 and the existential 6 degC by 2047, the year that any child unfortunate enough to be born today turns 22, or not. Davos us disgusting. To save the potential children otherwise being born daily, 108,000 net, we can join the prescient American 18-50 yo's who have sworn off reproducing, according to a recent PEW Survey. As for the Mad King Tramp and his Muskrat, with his MAGATS, they may just be a lost cause, like the lemmings pouring by the millions into the oceans when their numbers become unsustainable. How very selfish of humans for not considering the future we've created for our offspring, or not. Have a blessed evening.

Thank you

'It Can't Happen Here' was a book written in the 1930s by Sinclair Lewis. I listened to the audio drama and it is frighteningly close to current USA. 'Death of Grass' a book written in the 1950s by John Christopher I think could also be prophetic. I listened to the audio which is also good.
