Very worthwhile speech!

Why this blog?

"Mother Nature is just chemistry, biology and physics. That's all she is. You cannot sweet-talk her. You cannot spin her. You cannot tell her that the oil companies say climate change is a hoax. No, Mother Nature is going to do whatever chemistry, biology and physics dictate"

"Mother Nature always bats last, and she always bats 1.000"

-Rob Watson

We will act or perish. I hope those dragging their feet learn before it's too late.
