We're raising a generation who learned what greenhouse gases were before what a greenhouse is. |

I think my generation has had an unbelievably easy time profiting from the world that was made for us by our parents and grandparents. We are essentially a rather frivolous generation. The Blair government was my generation's shot at power. It had some good things, but it had some flaws. |
| Otto Hahn |
First we attacked the Russian soldiers with our gases, and then when we saw the poor fellows lying there, dying slowly, we tried to make breathing easier for them by using our own life-saving devices on them. |

Britain is one of the world's most open economies. More dependent on trade than any other major country. Our success depends on our competitiveness and our competitiveness depends on raising our productivity, as our competitors are raising theirs. |
| Sigmar Gabriel |
Being told about the effects of climate change is an appeal to our reason and to our desire to bring about change. But to see that Africans are the hardest hit by climate change, even though they generate almost no greenhouse gas, is a glaring injustice, which also triggers anger and outrage over those who seek to ignore it. |
| Darell Hammond |
We are raising today's children in sterile, risk-averse and highly structured environments. In so doing, we are failing to cultivate artists, pioneers and entrepreneurs, and instead cultivating a generation of children who can follow the rules in organized sports games, sit for hours in front of screens and mark bubbles on standardized tests. |
| Philip Hammond |
When ministers in this government talk about investing in education and skills, about making the planning system work; about employment law reform and delivering transport and power generation and broadband communication infrastructure, we are talking about raising Britain's productivity. |

What we face may look insurmountable. But I learned something from all those years of training and competing. I learned something from all those sets and reps when I didn't think I could lift another ounce of weight. What I learned is that we are always stronger than we know. |

I think for me, as far as cooking, some of it came naturally just from watching my dad. My dad was more of the cook than my mom was, so it's just handing it down from generation to generation. I just love to cook and have fun. And as performers, we love to cook, and we love to entertain people. |
| Tom T. Hall |
This generation should entertain this generation. It's only fair. When I was a kid, I mowed the lawn. Now, somebody else's kid can mow the lawn. |

In the military, I learned that 'leadership' means raising your hand and volunteering for the tough, important assignments. |

I had a dream I was at an orchestra concert and I was not in the concert but I was standing in this pit near the stage. I held up an instrument and asked someone whose violin it was and someone said it was a viola. Then the orchestra started performing and I tried to call out of the pit but I couldn't get out. Then my parents were there and they got up during the performance and tried to help me which was embarrassing. Then they told me to go home and meet them there. I went to their house and the house was more like a greenhouse and all the walls and doors were glass. I went there and started making pizza with some pizza dough. I drew a face in the dough with my finger and then ripped the dough around the face off. Then I continued making a pizza with all the dough. I knew a person would show up pretending to be my parent but would secretly be a demon and that I should pretend that I don't know that so I can escape. But then a demon just showed up with a huge knife and started walkin...

Roberta sips her coffee as she slumps into the back of her chair and gazes through the window at the umbratic front yard. The sky dims and releases a sigh of a breeze wafting in the opening droplets of the rainfall’s exposition. More drops join in accelerating toward the earth, casting a breeze from their path. The plants shake off their winter shivers and the grass sways to catch a drop on each angle of every blade.
It’s a good day to bring the plants outside.
Roberta wheels her chair to the kitchen making her way to the makeshift greenhouse; the kitchen sink and a lamp clamped atop the adjacent cupboard casting white on green tangles of vines and leaves between the sink and window sill. She plucks the aloe plant within reach from the edge of the sink, places it on her lap, and wheels t...

'Great Dying': Rapid Warming Caused Largest Extinction Event Ever, Report Says (theguardian.com)
Rapid global warming caused the largest extinction event in the Earth's history, which wiped out the vast majority of marine and terrestrial animals on the planet, scientists have found. The mass extinction, known as the "great dying," occurred around 252m years ago and marked the end of the Permian geologic period. The study of sediments and fossilized creatures show the event was the single greatest calamity ever to befall life on Earth, eclipsing even the extinction of the dinosaurs 65m years ago. Up to 96% of all marine species perished while more than two-thirds of terrestrial species disappeared. The cataclysm was so severe it wiped out most of the planet's trees, insects, plants, liza...

That music generation stuff we used to do was really fun. I've been meaning to look back at some of that stuff or write something new.

Self-Healing Material Can Build Itself From Carbon In the Air (mit.edu)
MIT chemical engineers have reportedly designed a material that can react with carbon dioxide from the air, "to grow, strengthen, and even repair itself." According to MIT News, "The polymer, which might someday be used as construction or repair material or for protective coatings, continuously converts the greenhouse gas into a carbon-based material that reinforces itself." From the report:
The current version of the new material is a synthetic gel-like substance that performs a chemical process similar to the way plants incorporate carbon dioxide from the air into their growing tissues. The material might, for exampl...

I had a dream that my friend was raising baby dragons and for some reason they had to be kept underwater with their mouths sticking out and we had to go feed them in the middle of this storm. There were too many fish and stuff in the way so we were trying to get the fish out of the water and put them in a bag and the fish could climb walls and stuff, it was weird. But as I was trying to stuff fish into this bag in the dark a black and green striped snake bit me and I didn't know if it was venomous or not and I woke up.
