Global Boiling (Phenomenal World)

Take always:

1) Global Warming should be more aptly renamed Global Climate Disruption

2) This year’s heat is a 4 standard deviation event; “a giant non-linear outcome generator with wicked convexities”

3) “A ‘shock of the old’ is that we still live in the machine age of Victorians.”

4) “We need enough mitigation to avoid the unmanageable and enough adaptation to manage the unavoidable.”
