From October 27th, 2006

The dissertation is interesting.  I read an interesting piece recently by Tim

Flannery (a very good Australian science write/professor) who suggested that

part of the problem with getting action on global warming is the word 'warm'.

Warm goes with cozy, or smile, cuddle, bed, healthy.  All the good things.

Parents try to keep their babies warm.   'Climate change' is more accurate but

change can be good, right.  It isn't exactly a clarion call like 'famine',

'disaster', 'genocide'.


Anyway, good luck with the next stage.
