Climate change Q&A&D

The "D" in Q&A&D stands for "Despair" in this helpful piece by the NY Times. The Paris meetings appear to have given the Times carte blanche to make us blanch at the prospect of unaddressed climate change. By cracking a joke I guess I'm part of the problem, but I wish the tenor of the conversation hadn't suddenly become so despairing when confident exhortations are probably more strategically sound.
