Neil Savage 4/19/2018 6:48 AMI am reading Factfulness by Hans Rosling, very worthwhile reading as in most ways the world is a better place to live but climate change is an exception, however it is possible to reverse. Usually you only hear the bad news but did you know the UK went 55 hours without burning any coal to produce electricity for the first time since the industrial revolution. -
