I’ve been meaning to edit this down to just the best parts, – its long – and I probably will, – but more important to get it posted and circulated, because Dr. Francis is leading one of the most important discussions in climate science right now.

Dr. Francis is brilliant. Doesn’t matter though, if people won’t listen.,

I know I tend to be a name dropper, but I have to say I was impressed that this weather summit was named after Glenn Gerberg, a colleague who used to work at my tv station.
