47. The worst part about global climate change for me is:

That I have heard from people I respect that there's a possibility of extinction of all life on the planet in thirty years if global climate changed is not lessened or even reversed.

Well, gee wizzzz, that is one humdinger of a worst case scenario, isn't it?

For those that profess to do Gods Work on Wall Street, perhaps they should begin a renewed career DOING GOD'S WORK TO STOP CLIMATE CHANGE.

Because an Act of God seems about the only possibility that gives any chance of hope.

I'm fine with it all because I know if I further enrich the already wealthy, my time in the afterlife will be almost as good as a middle class American in 1967.
