    But what does Richard Ellis think about Salinger?

    We could move them south, give them sunglasses, and call them Solar Bears maybe.

    They'll be safe in front of my hearth, I promise.

    Ellis: It’s so hard for me to understand whose interest is being served by denying global warming. You don’t win anything by saying this isn’t happening.

    Whatyoutalkin'boutEllis?
