I am a climate scientist and geologist and think that climate, geology, and geography are incredibly interesting fields that people deserve to know more about. If you have any questions that you’ve sat with for a while, are just curious, want to know more about future or past scenarios, or even have worldbuilding questions, feel free to ask!

    Were you taking courses alongside a bunch of people who were just gearing up to be oil prospectors? I had a friend in my department who had switched majors from geology, and he said that department at our university felt like a gold rush (very much in a bad way).

      Yeah, petroleum engineers mostly. I get it though. They are victims too who just need to feed their families and want financial security that is rare in a lot of places that oil happens to be the primary resource
