In the late 80's I took a Botney class at Sonoma State.

The professor always talked about what 1 degree of warming will do to the oceans. He talked about it all the time. It was his worst fear.

I though he might be overreacting a bit at the time, but not now.

He was an interesting guy, and was far from politically correct.

I remember his stance on people/bikes who don't walk on designated paths. The whole, "You are ruining the indiginious fauna argument". Well his unpopular stance was the surviving plants will be stronger.

I will never forget the honest worry he had over a 1 degree change in temperature.
