but the loss of life and the loss in the economy under this pandemic is almost nothing compared to what the loss of life and loss of the economy will be because the world as a whole is not doing anything significant about climate change. Almost no one is looking at what this world will be like in 50 years. We have 13 great-grandchildren and their lives and their children's lives will be the worst in well over the last 100 years. And I have my doubts that there will be any meaningful work done in at least the next 30-40 years to slow down climate change. I guess I should be glad that I am 72 years old.
