Wishful Thinking Is Not Sound Public Policy.

In The Rich World, The Environmental Situation Has Improved Dramatically. In The United States, The Most Important Environmental Indicator, Particulate Air Pollution, Has Been Cut By More Than Half Since 1955, Rivers And Coastal Waters Have Dramatically Improved, And Forests Are Increasing.

The Total Efforts Of The Last 20 Years Of Climate Policy Has Likely Reduced Global Emissions By Less Than 1 Percent, Or About 250 Million Metric Tons Of Carbon Dioxide Per Year.

I Tentatively Believe In A God. I Was Brought Up In A Fairly Religious Home. I Think The World Is Compatible With Reincarnation, Karma, All That Stuff.

I Really Try To Say Things As They Basically Are And It So Happens That It Is A Good Message That Things Are Getting Better, But There Are Still Problems.

Of Course, The World Is Full Of Problems. But On The Other Hand It's Important To Get The Sense... Are We Generally Moving In The Right Direction Or The Wrong Direction?
