<span style="font-size:12.0pt">1. 76% of Americans now consider climate disruption a major problem or a crisis, and about two-thirds fault Trump for not dealing with it. 70% trust that coming technological advances will stave off the worst effects. 62% think
they will have to make only minor sacrifices themselves. </span><a href="https://beta.washingtonpost.com/climate-environment/americans-increasingly-see-climate-change-as-a-crisis-poll-shows/2019/09/12/74234db0-cd2a-11e9-87fa-8501a456c003_story.html"><span style="font-size:12.0pt">https://beta.washingtonpost.com/climate-environment/americans-increasingly-see-climate-change-as-a-crisis-poll-shows/2019/09/12/74234db0-cd2a-11e9-87fa-8501a456c003_story.html</span></a><span style="font-size:12.0pt"></span></p>

<span style="font-size:12.0pt">Complication: The last news list carried an article from Phys.Org on the necessity of eating fish to obtain the DHA necessary for a healthy brain. There are other sources. People may produce DHA from the ALA in plant oils (though
perhaps less readily by us aged), and DHA may be available from other marine sources such as seaweed. The fish get their DHA from algae. We can thank the phytoplankton, the same ones succumbing to our burning of fossil fuels, for quite a lot of our brains
and most of our oxygen. </span><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Omega-3_fatty_acid"><span style="font-size:12.0pt">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Omega-3_fatty_acid</span></a><span style="font-size:12.0pt">
