I learned to really pick and choose my battles.”

We have good reason for being able to say that the world will be warmer by about a quarter of a degree in the next decade.

It is still not clear whether the term applied to daring experiments on matter itself, or whether it was understood to symbolize trials of the mind in discarding all forms of routine and prejudice.
