    Not that people dying is a good thing, but I was kind of hoping they’d be people alive right now. If 1/8th of the world treated climate change like it was personally going to kill them, we might still have a chance of turning things around. (As a bonus, can oil giants really keep their execs safe from 1 in 8 highly motivated people?)

          Half the people in industrial countries barely grasp the seriousness of the situation so what do you expect from a farmer in Africa who thinks witchcraft is real?
