I am in the middle of a SCIFI trilogy titled "Nexus" by Ramez Naam. It is a great read and essentially is about the next evolution of man brought on by science. Essentially, it is about how some people always try to stop progress because it will take them out of power and wealth under the latest version of humans. Think the GOP and fossil fuel boys here. It makes an interesting point that while some people feel sorry for the Neandrathal Man being overtaken by Homo Sapiens, it was all for the best.
It is funny that as I was enjoying this book that this Robert Kennedy Quote hit the social media. It is so true.
Now, in the New Yorker magazine this week is a great article about what Miami Beach is facing as water levels rise. And to think we still have US Senators, republicans of course, trying to eradicate spending on climate change research. One really could argue that they are enemies of humanity. Don't you think?

Mais oui!
Democracies everywhere need to concentrate on electing competent leaders who will prepare us for climate change and not lie to us about the reality we face. The press needs to responsiby inform the voters about the realty an not lie to us. According to James Lovelock: "There have been seven disasters since humans came on the earth, very similar to the one that's just about to happen. I think these events keep separating the wheat from the chaff. And eventually we'll have a human on the planet that really does understand it and can live with it properly. That's the source of my optimism."
What would Lovelock do now, I ask, if he were me? He smiles and says: "Enjoy life while you can. Because if you're lucky it's going to be 20 years before it hits the fan."
