how confident are you in our ability to adapt?

Because that's really what the question is here, right?

A lot of these changes, they're already priced in, right?

So it comes down to how well or how poorly we will be able to adapt to a world that is going to get hotter and more volatile.

Well, David, I have the same feeling at the end of this conversation that I had at the end of our last one, which is to say...

I feel smarter because I know more, but I do not feel more optimistic about tomorrow.

But I don't bring you here to pepper me with bullshit.

I ask you on the show to tell me the truth so far as you know it.

And that is what you always do.

But oof.

It's tough.

I asked for good news as almost like a throwaway question.

And my God, that was incredible.

That was amazing.

David, I know you got to go.

As always, a pleasure.

Thank you for coming in and making me smarter.
