"And every climate change has set us back since. ... History is Life's teacher."
Sadly, what some insist on learning from this is that Climate Change is cyclic and that humanity survives it. But that is a terrible lesson for reasons I laid out in my 2009 essay "George".

What we should be learning is more the stuff of my 2020 essay "Humanity's Superpower", which I circulate here more often. I hope it won't spoil it to say it offers Science as humanity's superpower. It concludes with this:
"If we super-stupidly elect to close our eyes to Science, rendering ourselves super-blind, we're just asking to find ourselves super-dead."
