POPSClimate science is by nature uncertain "The irony of the debate surrounding what we can and can't infer from climate models is that they sketch out possible, not inevitable futures. By giving us some idea of what lies ahead, they furnish us with a critical opportunity to change course. Rather than procrastinating about uncertainty – an inescapable fact of life – we should be taking the opportunity to get serious about climate change, and prove the climate models wrong"

POPSAmreen and Lokesh "Two households, alike save for belief In fair Phaphunda, where our scene is set, Where Hindu-Muslim tensions lead to grief And faiths, in conflict, evil will abet. Amreen, a Muslim, and her love Lokesh, A Hindu man who loved her more than life; Two faiths the village elders would not mesh, Though legally the two were man and wife. They fell in love because the two would meet Where Amreen’s father sold the family’s milk; The panchayat—the governing elite— Decreed they could not sully ilk with ilk. The Hindu man and lovely Muslim bride Chose poison over panchayat… and died."
