Sandy and Geoengineering: A Parachute for an Irresponsible World : The New Yorker

Sandy and Geoengineering: A Parachute for an Irresponsible World : The New Yorker:

"Some people will deny anything that displeases or scares them: unusual pain in their chests, unwanted lumps beneath their skin, or the fact that humans share ancestry with apes are a few examples. Another is climate change. There are people who could watch a hurricane like Sandy blow out of the Atlantic every other day and blame it on anything but human activity. They are like those who, having been diagnosed with diabetes, eat donuts for breakfast. There’s not much to do about them."
