Visiting the American Museum of Natural History in New York. Millions of dollars spent on a new building and fantastic entomology display. Went to the area devoted to plants. Looks like some old dioramas at Knotts Berry Farm…no wonder plant scientists are hard to find…
@DoctorVive Many folks & even some scientists (who should know better) succumb to fallacies that 1) The climate system is so vast that human activities could not possibly alter it greatly, and 2) that ecological & societal consequences cannot scale nonlinearly (even for linearish warning).
