EverestÂs Lake Imja Â a body of water at an altitude of 5,300 meters, entirely created by recent glacial melting Â and began a journey that would teach him a radical new way to approach both swimming and how to think about climate change. http://scientopia.or...-mt-everest-swim/ 9 minute video at above site. It's mind-blowing. "Chicago to my mind was the only place to be. ... I above all liked the city because it was filled with people all a-bustle, and the clatter of hooves and carriages, and with delivery wagons and drays and peddlers and the boom and clank of freight trains. And when those black clouds came sailing in from the west, pouring thunderstorms upon us so that you couldn't hear the cries or curses of humankind, I liked that best of all. Chicago could stand up to the worst God had to offer. I understood why it was built--a place for trade, of course, with railroads and ships and so on, but mostly to give all of us a magnitude of defiance that is not provided by one house on the plains. And the plains is where those storms come from." -- E.L. Doctorow

Everest of any remote hope of preserving a livable planet.. For maybe 5?? billions-MAX of homo-saps -- all in Full Recovery from Affluenza-mode and its boundless personal greed. Odds?? I don't think we want to know those. Earth: Love it or Leave it (to the insects.) "If men could get pregnant, abortion would be a sacrament.." ~Florynce R.
