Climate change blues: how scientists cope

"What haunts scientists most, many said, is the feeling that -- despite an overwhelming consensus on the science -- they are not able to convey to a wider public just how close Earth is to climate catastrophe."

Add to that: ocean acidification attacking coral reefs; overfishing depleting the oceans of big beautiful pelagics and multitudes of schooling fish; floating plastic and ghost nets; and garbage dumps on the bottom of the Celebes Sea (look at all the pictures -- most are spectacular, one is sobering).

Sometimes I feel like Solomon Roth in "Soylent Green".
