Dr. Krugman hits it out of the park

I've been pestering him for a while because climate change is going to dwarf every other issue on earth, including economic, and I have even sent him pictures of dying trees located on his Princeton campus.

It's laughable that deniers whine about the costs of mitigation and changing from fossil fuels to clean energy, when the cost of doing nothing is certain death. I'm practically euphoric that a figure as well known as Dr. Krugman is speaking forcefully about the climate. Maybe the MSM will be dragged, kicking and screaming, into a realistic discussion of what must be done.

The best summation of the purpose of this blog is on the page linked to at the top, "Basic Premise" Beyond that, I post random thoughts and musings from Wit's End, a little farm I share with a dog, 2 indoor cats and 2 barn cats, a flying squirrel (Whippersnapper), Sun Conure (Bird), African Grey (Simon), a dozen chickens, a pair of peafowl, sundry koi in the pond, and various wildlife visitors, most notoriously among them, a voracious fox.
