   re; climate change.

   I always use this anecdote when talking about climate change. For me we are driving down a wide street at 100mph, at night, with no headlights. Some of us are saying “Let’s slow down, we might crash!” while others say “we haven’t crashed yet, therefore it’s safe!”

   I luv.your show, I have a basic understanding of Physics,astrophysics,mathematics,and general science, I just have a problem with neuroscience, which I believe,(Dr. Kristin) is your Doctorate,and I find it bizarre that the brain can do so much and not even understand itself!!!
