“Imagine a ship that is sinking and needs all the available power to run the pumps to drain out the rising waters. The first class passengers refuse to cooperate because they feel hot and want to use the air-conditioner and other electrical appliances.

That is where the present approach to climate change is leading.” WantNeedsFeelsTryingFirstsUseRunningWaterClassImagineAirApproachHotClimateClimate ChangeRefuseAvailableShipsBoatRisingDrainsPassengersSinkingElectricalPumpsFirst ClassAppliancesClass StatusAir ConditionerElectrical Appliances Author:Matthieu Ricard

“I remember going into a raggedy studio, still with my work uniform on. At the time, I was driving money trucks for Wells Fargo, so I had my gun and hat, which weighed me down in the heat. It was 97 degrees here in New York, and they had to turn the air conditioner off because it was too loud. So, I say, "Damn, it's hot in here!" That's how we came up with the song, "Damn, It's Hot."

We just got together, sang and made our own lyrics.” WellsMadeStillsSoulTogetherRememberSongTurnsAirNew YorkDegreesGunHotStudiosDrivingLoudDamnHeatHatsUniformsTruckFargoAir ConditionerWells Fargo Author:Sharon Jones

Sometimes I would ask him for something that I did not even want, just to let him get it for me. We spent our days trying to help each other help each other. I would get his slippers. He would make my tea.

“Some molecules - ammonia, carbon dioxide, water - show up everywhere in the universe, whether life is present or not. But others pop up especially in the presence of life itself. Among the biomarkers in Earth's atmosphere are ozone-destroying chlorofluorocarbons from aerosol sprays, vapor from mineral solvents, escaped coolants from refrigerators and air conditioners, and smog from the burning of fossil fuels. No other way to read that list: sure signs of the absence of intelligence.” WayShowsEarthLife IsUniverseWaterAirPopsAbsenceListsBurningAtmosphereFuelDestroyingCarbonFossilsFossil FuelMoleculesSprayMineralsRefrigeratorsCarbon DioxideVaporOzoneSmogAir Conditioner Author:Neil deGrasse Tyson
