He has worked for the federal government for 46 years but, ““As a government employee, you can’t testify against the government,” he said in an interview.”

At 72, he said, he feels a moral obligation to step up his activism in his remaining years.

“If we burn even a substantial fraction of the fossil fuels, we guarantee there’s going to be unstoppable changes” in the climate of the earth, he said. “We’re going to leave a situation for young people and future generations that they may have no way to deal with.”

JIM!!!  Godspeed to you and do you need anyone for your team?!!
