My recent experience: Call got "answered" quickly -- by a blunt bot. 15 minutes going through the bot's questions, before it gave up and told me I needed an agent. (I could have told it that at the beginning.) Then a 2-hour wait for a real person to call me back. Real person was helpful.

Climate goals are becoming more realistic?
Author seems to think the pace of the climate crisis will slow down if we continue this retreat on goals. How about asking climate scientists how they view “more realistic” goals.

Imagine watching Sinatra, son of Dolly & Antonini born in Genoa & Sicily, respectively, and Martin, son of Gaetano & Angela, born in Montesilvano, Italy & Ohio respectively, (Angela to parents born in Monasterolo, Italy), and crusading against the value of children of immigrants to the U.S.

Which seriously THREATENS USA SECURITY!
He and his people have decimated our ability to adequately defend this country. One well-placed strike and our country, possibly the whole world, is over in a couple of hours.
