Principia Scientific by Matheus | January 27, 2020 “Climate change can seem like a distant problem, a speck on the horizon. It’s not. It’s a present and deadly reality.” These words were recently printed by the Huffington Post. “Common sense dictates that the economy undergo a massive restructuring away from fossil fuels to save lives.

For example, we are told that extreme weather (hurricanes, …
