A 1912 news article ominously forecasted the catastrophic effects of fossil fuels on climate change

7. It is good reference to back up my many

Climate Change rants. I like facts to back me up.
*Thanks*

8. You're more than welcome, glad I could help!

My grandmother was a kid back in 1912. She told me that back then girls had two choices, become a teacher or a nurse. She became a teacher - and a good one, but she told me that if she was starting out today, she'd become an environmentalist - I've never forgotten that.

9. I was an artist (starving) and finally

changed careers and chose teaching...BIG mistake. It almost killed me. I wish I had been an environmentalist instead too.

10. Her first job was in a one-room schoolhouse and some of her students were older than she was

But she did have a second "career," worked for the Office of Price Administration during WWII. My grandfather died suddenly in 1940, leaving her with 4 young kids, so she went back to work. I try my best to be more like my grandmother - she was always optimistic and always looked ahead and did her best to keep up with whatever was going on in the world.
