		<description>I just want to leave a followup that TalkingStick needs to read the book. Bill in no way sugarcoats what we face. As I quoted, &quot;There’s nothing that looks good for the Southwest.&quot; and &quot;Climate change is not a ramp. Its increments will not necessarily be linear and smooth. More often than not, its effects will be choppy and chaotic.&quot;</description>

		<description>I particularly found your comments about Exxon disturbing.  There is no way they or big industry is going to change course until they have extracted the last squeeze of carbon product out of the planet.  They say out loud that is there plan.  I also hear it will just take some good old geo-engineering developed if it gets too hot.  I am visualizing one huge sheet of reflective foil stretched over the arctic to serve the purpose of the once white ice.</description>

		<description>I apologize for if perhaps too impulsively labeling your motivations.  If I am wrong in that I however must say I find your approach naive in relation what the science is telling us.  But I have made a fool of myself before and await reading the book to experience that once again.

Your approach makes it sound like maybe it could be fun learning ways to adapt etc.   

I wish it were only another of those steady incremental things that will give us time to adapt and develop technology that will mitigate the effects.  Biologic systems are in the simplest composition complex.  Many compensatory and adaptive functions are aspects moderating relatively strong challenges to stasis but once those are overwhelmed, and I believe we are seeing the beginning of that, then there is often a sudden cascade of catastrophic failures and what was once incremental and reversible becomes moot.</description>

		<description>This guy is IMO a ringer.  This climate change we are inducing is not just another &quot;cene&quot; where ordinary problems of water and sufficient air conditioning are just magnified.  His comment about Exxon Mobil is revealing.  They have been pouring gazillions of dollars into denial, funding fake science and media blitzes of denial for years.</description>
