Dyson
Dyson was a scientist during one of the most important times in nuclear history. And an important one. That he chooses to use that weight in a later age, for a different reason is unfortunate.
Teller and Fuller did it as well. Depending on which side of the fence youre on, the super or the yurt, you may cheer or boo.

When I first saw the together story in Grist, I was almost ready to be happy. Its was so full of hope and promise.
Anything that can be done, must be done. And Done Now! It's that urgent.
Unfortunately, I went a little further, a little deeper.It starts with Mayor Bloomberg and Gov Schwarznegger - odd political bedfellows - but beggars can't be choosers. It goes on to include such luminaries as the cities of New York, Chicago, Miami and Seattle - no less odd. It seems so hopeful. But it's not. Despite their illustrious names, leading edge-cover page technology - its just another Commercial front in a Global War and sadly, it declines rapidly from there.
Other Corporate interests include Chase, the News Corp, Dell, Target and Time Warner. Need I go on? The movement/site/springboard has roped in a gaggle of smaller, well meaning (or not) companies.

optimism
Mr. Hansen:
I have a great deal of respect your work and we all have a great deal of gratitude for all youve done.
You try to close on a note of optimism:
""the power gap in the face-off of fossil fuel interests against young people and nature. Fossil interests permeate state governments, as well as Washington."
Youre right. Is it politic? "HES ONE OF THEM!
And the Youth:"
"They are not fooled by 'green' advertisements of industry or tokenism in political actions."
Nor are they foolish enough to think that anything will change the bankrolled Fossil Interests and Politicians. Maybe thats why many are waiting for the world to change. As long as Fat Fossil Interests and their nonaccountable Political Lackeys continue to hold the reigns of power nothing will change. The kids are not fools.
Is it optimism or false hope?
With the greatest of respect,

The snow you speak of was in Watertown near Canada and has been like that (as far as I know) for more than 30 years.
In NYC, winter did not arrive this year until January 15. The first snowfall was Valentine's Day. The patterns not just the details are evolving. Global Warming (sic), Climate Change, Greenhouse gases are here.
