They were like, because they knew their land and such a, and so that was a teaching for me, you know, that connection between people and the land, you know, and that what you can learn by being on the same land roughly, you know, instead of, you know, getting an airplane, flying to some place and fly back.

You learn by staying in place. And so those had a big impact on me. And I think the last thing, which is just seeing the climate movement itself be extraordinarily dualistic and ineffective.

I'm just talking about the movement itself, the rhetoric that came out of the Conference of the Parties and corporations and, you know, all that sort of stuff. And finally, you know, I did what I could on that, but that's why Carbon, the Book of Life came out to say, can we just change this conversation? Because I don't think it's working. It's not bringing us together.

I couldn't agree more. Yeah. It's interesting to see their early reviews and readers and their response. A lot of them use the word poetic a lot, which I've never... I've written poems, but I've never published them. This is not a poem. But I think what I mean by poetic is that it gets to how they feel. It evokes a feeling in them when they read certain sentences or certain paragraphs.

I think, you know, my observation is that people strive to get a megaphone and once they get it, they don't want to give it up. They have a podium, they have a platform, you know, they've platformed themselves almost.
