and weak alike, for the welfare of the community.” (see Review by Elizabeth McGowan)

Global Carbon Reward (Delton Chen)
"Humans are burning about 40 gigatons (a gigaton is a billion tons) of fossil carbon per year. Scientists have calculated that we can burn about 500 more gigatons of fossil carbon before we push the average global temperature over 2 degrees Celsius higher than it was when the industrial revolution began; this is as high as we can push it, they calculate, before really dangerous effects will follow for most of Earth’s bioregions, meaning also food production for people." -- Robinson, Kim Stanley. The Ministry for the Future: A Novel (p. 29). Kindle Edition.
