Dear Frank, I spoke with Dr. Fletcher today and found him to be extremely sincere and humble. The suggestions that you put forward are excellent and identify different methods that can be taken to mitigate the situation.  Each of us should learn from you as we learned from Dr. Fetcher. This is a human problem and the government(s) may not be nibble or desirous of making the required changes.  Dr. Fletcher and you ultimately come to the same conclusion; we must teach each other.  This is humanities problem that requires a people generated solution. The answers are elusive and a solution may even be unattainable but doing something is always better than remaining idle.  As you reported each individual must find his own way to address the effects of sudden and severe climate change.  Yours, is going vegan.  Totally commendable and definitely helpful to all of us.  Today, I add both you and Dr. Chip Fletcher to my list of the smartest people on the planet.  Aloha Frank..good job
