...course, the chapter you flip to first is the one about dating. Vincent speed-dated. She hit on chicks in singles bars. (Vincent is gay, so it's not so big a stretch as you may think.)

Warmer oceans absorb less atmospheric carbon dioxide, so we depend increasingly on the world's remaining vegetation to filter the air for us. Because vegetation is the only means by which carbon dioxide is converted into life-giving oxygen, we need to start seriously thinking more about controlling deforestation. We should...
