The pace of global warming is accelerating and the scale of the impact is devastating. The time for action is limited - we are approaching a tipping point beyond which the opportunity to reverse the damage of CO2 emissions will disappear. ↗

I don't think any drug that can cause brain damage, failing kidneys, hardening arteries, pain, and suffering should be made available. ↗

The time that people aren't expecting what's going to happen, I find that's the best time to really cause the damage that needs to be done. ↗

Occasionally we have to interpret an international treaty - one, perhaps, affecting airlines and liability for injury to passengers or damage to goods. Then, of course, we have to look to the precedents of other member nations in resolving issues. ↗
