Is It Me, Or Is It Getting A Little Warm?

May 6, 2020May 7, 2020

Climate change, Trump has told us, is a Chinese hoax.  Yet those who have begun to doubt his scientific credentials may find this, from the National Academy of Sciences, of interest:


. . . the researchers found that the position of the human climate niche is projected to change more in the next 50 years than it has during the past 6,000. Such a shift would leave 1 billion to 3 billion people outside the climate conditions that have nurtured human society to date. . . .


After he solves the pandemic — more bleach, perhaps? — we should enlist him to solve the climate crisis.  He alone can fix it.



Until then — or if God forbid Putin wins again — Regional partnerships may offer a new framework for dealing with urgent issues on which Washington has failed to lead.




A friend sent this video of Wuhan China.  I knew it was a large city (11 million), but I wouldn’t have expected it to look like this (thanks, Mel!):

[UPDATE: Another friend wrote in to tell me we’d been had.  All these buildings are real, and in China, he said (or at least was pretty sure); but they’re not all in Wuhan.  I did some Googling and found videos that suggested, yes, much of the city is impressive . . . but perhaps not as impressive as above.]

Quote of the Day

"The future is disorder. A door like this had cracked open five or six times since we got up on our hind legs. It is the best possible time to be alive, when almost everything you thought you knew is wrong."
