Global Warming
As human beings, we are vulnerable to
confusing the unprecedented with the
improbable. In our everyday experience, if
something has never happened before, we
are generally safe in assuming it is not
going to happen in the future, but the
exceptions can kill you and climate change
is one of those exceptions.
