Comparing hunting Sea Otters to the Petroleum industry. People cared more about money than caring for the Sea Otter population.

Petroleum workers are getting laid off.

Crazy that Wayne McGrath died snowmobiling.

Crazy that flies, mice, rats, and bears took over houses in some cases.

Temperatures are rising and precipitation is going down.

Co2 levels are increasing faster than ever. Could be catastrophic for life. Fires also create more C02.

They are talking a lot about how C02 emissions are increasing and could leave to warming. They say London and New York could flood.

Interesting how Ignaz Semmelweis discovered that hand washing was an important topic. People refused to take him seriously.

Crazy how Stephenson compared the fire to the Balrog in Lord of the Rings.

Interesting to read about Operation Gomorrah and how the allies bombed Hamburg and hurt citizens. Lots of people became homeless and lost their lives.
