Imagine thinking that exchanging 1 of every 5000 molecules of air (78% N2 + 21% O2 + trace gases) with a single CO2 molecule is going to change the earth's temperature by 2 deg. C. If earth was this sensitive to tiny changes, there's zero chance we'd be here.
Also, if earth didn't turn into Venus when CO2 was 1000 ppm about 50 million years ago, it probably won't happen with CO2 at 400 ppm either.

A week after first trying it, the Mac Baren HH Bold Kentucky might be my new fave. The tin smells lovely. First light is a hint sweet and then turns to this soft, beautifully balanced flavor that the hams of a better world would be smoked in. Nicotine? Check. One flake lasts at least an hour, or could be sipped for an entire afternoon. Hard to find a downside.

"As historian W. Thomas White reveals, the Northwest railroads now sought to undercut union solidarity with a strategy that was gaining favor nationally: mixing various antagonistic ethnic groups together in work parties so that they could not effectively unite. "
That's talking about events well over 100 years ago, folks.
@amerika Consider adding Kirkpatrick Sale's _Human Scale_ to your list. It's sitting in a prominent place on my shelf but I haven't cracked it open in ten years. Still, it had a huge influence on my worldview as I departed from Lew Rockwell and other anti-statists who seemed to think a world of megacorporations is somehow better because toothpaste costs less at Walmart than at the corner store run by a family in town.
