Dinosaurs Redux 0

I saw pick-up truck yesterday with a bumper sticker reading, “This vehicle is fueled by recycled dinosaurs.”

I thought of that when I saw Brian Greenspun’s column in The Las Vegas Sun. He notes that temperatures in Vegas and around the world are breaking records and argues that dinosaurs are still with us. A bit of his article:

Barring an asteroid, which could destroy the Mother Earth we know and love, the application of scientific solutions and changing human behavior can save us from a dinosaur-like demise.

That is if the dinosaurs of today — let’s call them the elected leaders who insist on doing the bidding of the carbon-based industries around the globe — will start making decisions designed to prolong life rather than shorten or downright end it!

Personally, I am somewhat less than optimistic.
