Re "Transportation between China and Europe",years ago, in the '60s, while living and working in Beirut, a friend of mine, a photographer, received an assigment to go to Israel for a photo shoot. When he got back he gave me 3 guesses as to the map he had seen behind the desk of the Israeli Minister of Transportation. I said Golan, then Jordan and then Gaza. I was wrong on all 3; he told me the map was of Kuwait.

Re "Climate Change", also in the late '60s, a radio correspondent colleague of mine who worked for a different network than I, told me that he had seen a CIA report on the coming political changes in Europe because of climate changes.
