I'm workin' on it! :lol: :lol:

I thought it did a reasonably good job in showing how most of those things end up making the others worse, specifically how thawing permafrost is helping toxins from old mine tailings spread much further and faster than they otherwise would have--a connection I hadn't thought about very much before.

The more that 7 billion people and growing on the planet want to live like the 300 million here in the U.S., the better the chances of accelerated interlocking destructive patterns.

That's cute Revi, been many years since you posted it. Can you pedal it from both seats when it's cloudy?
