Climate Change

I'm often reminded of the quote at the end of "Three Days of the Condor" every time the topic is presented that climate change is "a hoax" or, even if it's real, there's nothing that can be done about it.


Higgins: Today it's oil, right? In ten or fifteen years, food. Plutonium. And maybe even sooner. Now, what do you think the people are gonna want us to do then?

Turner: Ask them.

Higgins: Not now — then! Ask 'em when they're running out. Ask 'em when there's no heat in their homes and they're cold. Ask 'em when their engines stop. Ask 'em when people who have never known hunger start going hungry. You wanna know something? They won't want us to ask 'em. They'll just want us to get it for 'em!
