The blatantly hijacked thread of "Visiting Ontong Java..." induced me to try to draw your attention to this theorizing American professor's presentation which was televised on SBS on last Sunday evening. (3.2.2019)
The outpouring emotions about global warming and climate change and it's consequences on Dexport's thread, which turned into a farce at the end, did flare up emotions successfully without trying to suggest any remedy or aim the focus at possible solutions to the problems we face.
This total lack of ideas, which is oh so typical of such emotional flare-ups, l am trying to correct by suggesting, that perhaps a positive thought process, instead of scapegoat finding and blaming everybody and everything, might bring us closer to a possible solution.
