Wow. Just read your NYTimes piece and found your blog. I am in taiwan, reporter, writer, dreamer blogger here, i got a blog rant that you prob will not agree with, but i want to introduce you to the ideea of POLAR CITIES, for future survivors of global warming ending event, year 2500 or so. I got idea from JL. he said only breeding pairs in arctic regions will survive, maybe 200,000 souls....so idea popped into head of POLAR CITIES or sustainable polar retreats, SPR, and have been blogging for 6 months about this now, and NOT ONE mainstream media will answer my calls or emails. Can you write something about POLAR CITIES idea, in future article. We need to start thinking and planning and designing them now, and also, MF, this is a kind of Swiftian modest proposal to scare people. We are in big doo doo and i fear the worst. you are right....it will not be an easy fix, and my guess is we are done for as a species, come year 2500.....why do so few people get this? You do. James Howard Kunstler does. Fred Pearce does. JL does......by the way, do you know i might contact Lovelock by email.? email me at danbloom GMAIL Hello, MF, dan bloom here in taiwan. read about in googling james lovelock and then read Knight Ridder news about Massachusetts freelacner you who went to UK last summer , on panel with JL.
