• We know only what we do, what we make, what we construct; and all that we make, all that we construct, are realities.

• I don't mean to imply that we are in imminent danger of being wiped off the face of the earth - at least, not on account of global warming.

And unless we do a better job of adjusting to these new realities, we will pay a heavy price. We may not suffer the fate of the dinosaurs. But there will be a toll on our environment and on our economy, and the toll will rise higher with each new generation.
