Edwin this is the beginning of the end of the world. Be thankful you're here
now and not in the next century.
This was all destined to happen. There's nothing, absolutely nothing that
can be done to temper global warming that to any degree will bring this to a
halt. As T.S. Elliot said: "How does the world end? How does the world end,
not with a bang, but a wimper", a warm wimper. None of us could have
predicted that.

P.S. I hope you're not serious. I, and I'm sure many others, enjoy, profit,
and are grateful for your advice. You're one of the reasons we hang on.
