[Rantman] Prescient Azimov offers warning from the grave - Nothing somber, just a statement.

[Richard Pauli]

Nothing somber, just a brief statement about CO2 and greenhouse effect.

Understanding is a willful act.   We choose to listen, or not.   Wise 
man speaks.

This really helps with a personal understanding of my own climate 
anxiety ... for me, it started in the late 1980's.   I remember talking 
with a TV weatherman about it.   Harry Wappler at KIRO-TV - a wonderful 
man - back then he honestly told me that TV weather people would never, 
ever be talking about our changing climate.

about it... so wonderful to have video recordings...

In two minutes and 39 seconds, the incomparableIsaac Azimov 
<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isaac_Asimov>explains the greenhouse 
effect and tells why he has been warning about it for 20 years. Of 
course, Azimov has been dead almost 20 years (since April 6, 1992); this 
video (which we found courtesy of Peter Sinclair fromClimate Denial 
Crock of the Week <http://climatecrocks.com/>) was recorded in 1989.
