“Legget stopped at the door. “I support freedom of speech before I support any president.” This angered everyone in the room. For the average American freedom of speech is simply the freedom to repeat what everyone else is saying and no more.”
–From Gore Vidal’s “Burr” (1973).

“According to new research published by scientific magazine Nature Communications, 200 million people in the world will live below the sea level line by 2100. An additional 160 million will be affected by higher annual flooding due to rising ocean levels. These numbers are much higher than those published in previous studies, which used different costal elevation models and assumed that only 250 million people in total would be affected by these adverse events.” See details here.
