Morning Jack. I love you Talking to America and I learn so much history from you. Global Warming has been an issue for a while now and, yes, we can always hope things will change.

Oh, Jack, you have done it again. Such a great story, so little credit where credit is due, as well the allure of riches that always seems to win out.

Great piece Jack, and the hamster-wheel keeps spinning.

A perfect image. We've been through it with George Bush, then with Trump 1, now Trump 2. The stakes get higher, but money, as they say, talks . . .

Love this article. The history, the human ingenuity and perseverance going unrewarded and the end story. But - better for the whales - until now when our oceans are becoming polluted, warm and uninhabitable.

Great writing - as always.

That's a good point, Rachel. The slaughter of whales was sad. We didn't even know they could talk to each other.

Thanks for shining a light on this at this time, Jack. The price we and future generations will pay for our greed and arrogance is devastating and incalculable ... and has been embraced by a majority of our country for at least the next two years. Wake up, America!

It gets to be, who are you going to believe, me or your own lyin' eyes?
