Thanks for this, Andrew. No doubt you will accept the idea that the
same holds for our society and the environment generally; any number
of reliable indicators appearing simultaneously across the board if
any care to pay attention. 

Permit me to expand it somewhat, however, to state how little the few
who do know quite a lot actually know, while the many know absolutely
nothing at all. Until one after another they themselves are picked off
by skin cancer or some other similarly indicative nasty.
