I agree Bob. It probably was Mac Arthur.
It looks like we're going to get double teamed in the next 20 years.
China and global climate change. (I didn't say warming)
It looks like it's late to worry about CO2. The permafrost is melting in
the northern hemisphere. When the permafrost melts it gives off a lot
of Methane gas. Methane is a much better insulator (4X) than CO2.
I think some people are still yelling about CO2 because there is absolutely
nothing that will stop the continued Methane release. Nothing. You can
have a nice demonstration about CO2 but demonstrating to stop
Methane would be like demonstration to stop gravity.
Maybe the Chinese will figure out a solution.
I'm 69 and wouldn't give a damn except I have a 12 year old grandson,
Bryan
PS: I hope to produce CO2 week after next, I mean go to W.F.
