The Brit paper calls Dyson a Physicist, but he calls himself an "applied mathematician". His argument that India and China are burning a lot of coal, and will continue to do so for the next fifty years, so the rest of the world might as well just give up trying to curb their contribution, I find more than a little defeatist. Sure, the reality is India and China will keep pumping out CO(and a lot of other crap), but how does that signal us to stop trying to make our air cleaner and work toward renewable power sources?

Now with the coral reefs dying, with the likelihood of nearly 4,633 square miles (12,000 square kilometers) of reefs, by year's end, it might save a lot of lives. Because when the reefs go, so do the fish, and commercial fisherman is the most dangerous occupation.
