Anthony Signorelli, my emissions are low because I am older, not commuting to work or jetting around the world.

Last evening I listened to sincere and passionate climate experts, but their same pitch (with increased volume) is unlikely to change habits quickly enough.

Of all the speakers, no one mentioned money other than that we need more to fix the problem. Climate change has to be quantified in dollars. Without this, it is as meaningless as an architect's drawing without a scale.

EVERYTHING about climate needs to be expressed in money and time -- cost/time of this or that change, cost/time of doing nothing, etc. Generalities and that we MUST do more will not get us there.

The cost/time language relates to individuals, households, communities, cities, and nations.

Many thanks. Always excellent.
