Ah! I see! You really are a scientist! Most excellent! Thank you for enlightening me!

But just as a little test, solve these equations for y in terms of x. I know their simple, but humor me.

dy/dx = e^x

dy/dx = 1/x

This one is considerably tougher. There's probably a way to produce the partial differentian symbol in HTML, but I don't know it and don't have a reference handy. So in this problem, consider d to but that curvy partial derivative symbol. Find the function p(x,y) given this system of equations and conditions:

d^2p/dx^2 + d^2p/dy^2 = 0 given 0 < x < infinity and 0 < y < b
dp(x,0)/dy = dp(x,b)/dy
p(x,y) is bounded as x tends to infinity.

Show your work. Using Mathematica, MathCAD, or similar is cheating.

Oh, and check the links in here for data mining.
Data mining my a**.

re:"CO2 that goes into the atmosphere does not stay there but is continually recycled by terrestrial plant life and earth's oceans-- the great retirement home for most terrestrial carbon dioxide. are bogus and not attributed so they cannot be checked, while completely unrelated political claims such as Even if the theory of global warming is wrong, we will be doing the right thing -- in terms of economic policy and environmental policy"

My guess, is that its probably safe to say that most (if not all) the CO2 in fossil fuels (oil, coal, gas) were at one time free carbon dioxide gas.

Rocks- There is a class of Rocks called Carbonates. Sedimentary rocks like Marble and Limestone are carbonated rock. Limestone is made up of, up to 44% Carbon dioxide (calcium carbonate). Wasn't this carbon dioxide once in the atmosphere (before the ocean)?

If global warming isn't dangerous, couldn't the billions, (maybe trillions) to convert the worlds major economies from carbon be, better spent?

P.S. I agree that for the last hundred years or so the earth has probably been warming.
