re: pessimism about global warming 

@anthracite Honestly it's kinda reassuring to be reminded you're quite willing to get outta Dodge the moment it becomes necessary.

I have been enjoying it. And I do also still have some degree of hope. More and more people are taking this stuff seriously, and sooner or later there's just so likely to be a Manhattan Project style concentration of engineering resources.

I'm not giving up until, say, around, November of 2020, when the (relative) grown-ups have another shot at making this a policy priority. In the meantime, pray for those hacker kids in the third-world who are already making (regrettably, tiny) carbon-extraction devices...
