> In the Southern hemisphere, the Amazon is not the lungs of the Earth, due to Earth's rotation and the ensuing

> The Paris Accord is no help as it somehow is based on a different planet, with no Coriolis force, with politics qua

> to the North, ecologically.

> The effect of an atomic war in the Northern hemisphere is well-studied: the whole Earth is affected, but the Southern 
> hemisphere remains relatively unscathed.

> Same with global climate change, ceteris paribus. We need to globally reject the Paris Accord. It is not that we are
