No, it's a fair point. When I was, when I was studying geology, we didn't call it. I'd never heard the term climate change. We called it the greenhouse effect. But There was a lot of pretty detailed predictions back in the early 1980s of what kinds of things would be the consequence if we didn't address [the greenhouse effect] more rapidly. And most of those have come true in a really, I would say, from a scientific point of view, a surprising level of accuracy. So that doesn't answer your question in terms of how do we, as now there's leadership coming in that is much more skeptical about climate change. (16:02–16:21)
