Finn, do you watch RTs' crossfire? It's kinda no holds barred, very entertaining.

They pitted a climate change skeptic, a wild looking English scientist (is it the hair?), against a very polite Nordic believer. The Brit said just about that.

I'm for clean for clean's sake, I love the outdoors. But they are talking so much money. I'm with you. Build to prepare for the rise? Start cleaning up the heavy metals becoming prevalent worldwide? [Male sperm count is way down, and frogs are dying off.]

And growth in income is the last word in pollution control and population control - 'they' (don't remember who) say at a given income level, folks start to worry about A, then B, etc. Makes sense, who cares about the planet when you're starving. But then, when you're at 100k apparently you have to buy a 3500 sf house & accessories, so maybe it doesn't matter.

Or terraform Mars Rob, we'll leave Wall Street behind lol.
