miranda divine on the abbott story, page-35

Hi Voltaire

Sorry to but in on this thread but IMO some of the erroneous fabrications being circulated have to be challenged by all who spot them.

I have long been a student of Climatology and Meteorology. Rather than get involved in technical detail I would instead like people to have a think about what one of the World's foremost thinkers has to say:

Charlie Rose [to Stephen Hawking]: What worries you most about the future of the universe?

Stephen Hawking: I am not worried about the future of the universe. The universe will continue whatever happens. But the future of the human race, and of life on earth, is much less certain. We are in danger of destroying ourselves by our great insensitivity.

CR: What are we not doing to prevent these disasters that we absolutely should be doing?

SH: Not acting with sufficient urgency about climate change.

CR: Do you think we will survive?

SH: Maybe. (smiles)

IMO that says it all really!
