In retrospect, forcing the entire campus to move from our locally hosted, open source LMS to a commercial, single point of failure LMS that also happens to be owned by a company that wants to turn all our labor into AI training data may not have been a good idea.

70 YEARS AGO. March 8, 1956: Roger Revelle testifies to Congress about "the greatest geophysical experiment in history”: “burning, as you know, quite a bit of coal and oil and natural gas” and “producing tremendous quantities of carbon dioxide” which could “cause a remarkable change in climate.”
“Right now and during the past 50 years, we are burning, as you know, quite a bit of coal and oil and natural gas. The rate at which we are burning this is increasing very rapidly. This burning of these fuels which were accumulated in the earth over hundreds of millions of years, and which we are burning up in a few generations, is producing tremendous quantities of carbon dioxide in the air. Based on figures given out by the United Nations, I would estimate that by the year 2010, we will have added something like 70 percent of the present atmospheric carbon dioxide to the atmosphere. This is an enormous quantity. It is like 1,700 billion tons. Now, nobody knows what this will do. Lots of people have supposed that it might actually cause a warming up of the atmospheric temperature and it may, in fact, cause a remarkable change in climate.

We may actually, for example, find that the Arctic Ocean will become navigable and the coasts become a place where people can live, then the Russian Arctic coastline will be really quite free for shipping, as will our Alaskan coastline, if this possible increase in temperature really happens. . . .

Here we are making perhaps the greatest geophysical experiment in history, an experiment which could not be made in the past because we didn’t have an industrial civilization and which will be impossible to make in the future because all the fossil fuels will be gone. All the coal and gas and oil will be used up. In this 100-year period, we are conducting, in effect, this vast experiment, and we ought to adequately document it.”

The more I think about it, the more I incline to the opinion that the most important thing of all is not to lose hope and faith in life itself.
Anyone who does so is lost, regardless of what good fortune may befall him. And so, from the bottom of my heart, my New Year's wish is that you not lose your hope, faith and ability to delight in the world-even if the world is the way it is. If you can manage that, everything else will come; if you give in, nothing can help you.
