In 1988 my uncle was working as a chemist for the oil industry in Oman. When he was home he'd tell us about global warming from carbon dioxide from burning oil

In the industry they knew. In politics they knew. But it made a lot of money and they'd be dead before New York would be flooded

I wish aging had been solved back then, so those people would know they'd live to see the impending disaster

RIP Great Barrier Reef this coming southern summer

New York won't get flooded for another 100-200 years... we may still need to solve the aging problem if we want to avoid that.

Scientists knew in the early 1900s.
