Don’t take my hopium away. James Lovelock, you took our collective hopium. You left us bare and naked. And then you have the gall to retract your two books, saying you, Tim Flannery, Al Gore, and whoever else were alarmist?" <br /><br />the only thing i'd question in shaheer's piece is this: "Canada will be one of the most favorable places in the world to experience climate change." I know that perspective is taken for granted by giles slade and others (wishful thinking by canadians?!). but canada is a big place and it's way too hard to predict how climate change problems will be distributed. depending on where in africa they live, some of your family members may hang in there for as long as you. regardless, thanks again for this wonderful piece.foglighthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17448777225281498137noreply@blogger.com
