Thanks Li D. Sea Son’s greetings to you too and all.

One of my grandsons is over in OZ right now having visited Baku and Borneo – he is a zoology undergrad. I am looking after his collection of thirty tarantulas of 26 species, some individuals are as big as my hand that is just the body for one of them.

The triple threat of land use choices, pollution, and crazy fast climate change to things like mangroves, but pretty much every system, is just really really beyond fucked up, and I applaud you for your use and context of the term ” committed “.

Just quickly wishing Greg and his readers an easy and safe time over the
new year period, be it at work or play.
Here’s 2 minutes of Australian comedy to express my appreciation for all the perspectives I have read this year.

Yes, we still need to mitigate against the worst that a human-warmed future might hold, but it’s past time that we acknowledge the destruction that we’ve already locked in, and talk about who carries the responsibility and who carries the cost.

The longer we put off having that conversation the more we delude ourselves, and the nastier will be the facing of reality when it becomes inescapable.
