    My greatest fear with the chaos and challenges that are going to happen over the next few decades in terms of environmental change is not the weather, not the heat, not the cold, not the tornadoes or hurricanes … the thing that scares me the most are people.

    As the environment becomes more extreme and we experience more and more emergencies, people are going to start panicking … panicked people are going to do some crazy things … the worse conditions get, the worse people will become.

      The whole pandemic experience eroded my faith in humanity. There’s no doubt that when humanity works together, we can accomplish much. There is also no doubt in my mind that there’s somebody whose first thought is to hoard toilet paper.

      I suppose if we could all work together on enlightened harmony, the Kyoto Protocol would have fixed the climate back even it could have saved lots of people.
