An inconvenient goodbye

Travelling tonight until Friday. Hope everyone is well... I leave you with this upbeat thought.

My friend Ryan's dad is a famous polar zoologist. Several years ago, I asked Ryan what his dad thought about 'the whole global warming thing.'

'Well, my dad's an optimist about global warming,' Ryan said.

I breathed an inward sigh of relief.

'He's not nearly as dark as a lot of his colleagues.'

I began to hope that maybe the crisis had been exaggerated.

'My dad just thinks that global warming is going to kill off all the indigenous peoples and most of the wildlife in the arctic.'

From here.
