Maybe a change in cause is warranted, at least for now. We can always come back to causes from the past. A new focus may give new insight. Call it short attention span or whatever,but I change gears a lot. Not sure if that is good or bad...but it is entertaining.

Well actually what I mean was that you gained an entire 'nother green blob visible when you post. I suppose that's why I have more red blobs: I'm a bit too opinionated usually. I'm working on it though!

I gave you another little green blob.

Okay, so I agree with you, somehow. But does this mean that we are going to go for a future that is solar, windy, and otherwise renewable, or does this mean that we’re bound to keep destroying this world like we do these days, simply because it is the way of our...

Dot Earthers Face to Face - Dot Earth Blog - NYTimes.com
It’s worth remembering that the biosphere takes up and emits about 15 times as much carbon dioxide per year as is released by burning fossil fuels.
However, the biosphere operates in steady state mode - for example, trees produce leaves in the spring and drop them in the fall - and then the leaves are converted back to CO2 and other nutrients by fungi and bacteria. Thus, over thousands of years, there has been little...

“BARCELONA, Spain — An “extinction crisis” is under way, with one in four mammals in danger of disappearing because of habitat loss, hunting and climate change, a leading global conservation body warned Monday.
“Within our lifetime, hundreds of species could be lost as a result of our own actions,”...

“It is not good enough for big developing countries to take absolutely no responsibility just because the biggest contributors to climate change are the developed countries,” Mr. Moosa said at the opening ceremony of the congress, held every four years under the auspices of the IUCN.
“America and industrialized nations must lead the way,” he said. “Developing countries like my own must become part...

“Her own Alaskan review of the science drew on a joint paper by seven authors, four of whom were well-known climate- change contrarians. Her paper argued that it was “certainly premature, if not impossible” to link temperature rise in Alaska with human CO2 emissions….”
