Make the best of what you get, and consider scheduling a second appointment to ask specific questions about classes and scheduling. If your professor...
That's a powerful criticism: it's hard enough for scientists to predict what's happening to our climate now, and it would be even harder if we start fiddling with it further. But worst of all might be to take only the safe and slow approach and watch the climate collapse around our ears. We're already geoengineers, after all; we might as well get good...
