Message 17585338 Message 17579129 Moom, originally I got the 10% figure from calculating how much CO2 we've produced from fossil fuels. Production figures are available. Ascribing all the increase to us isn't right because as you will see, the fluctuations without us are much bigger than what we've achieved so far. If you want to worry about increasing sea levels, think about incoming bolides, Message 17860326 Volcanoes are also good things to worry about on a local level. I play Russian Roulette with them here. I even stayed in Taupo recently; talk about wild and crazy risk-taking guy though I'm not that courageous compared with the 50,000 who live in the area now - imagine building a house and having children and then living in a volcano, waiting for it to blow up, but they do it in the thousands. Also, Auckland's electricity supplies come from the Waikato River, which will be gone with an eruption. It would be better to build nuclear reactors near Auckland. Except that they would be swamped by a bolide tsunami. Hmm, problems, problems. Sea level rise here [it's been going on for thousands of years, so people shouldn't act surprised that the tide is rising and Little Hiawatha's rock is getting wet].http://www.siliconinvestor.com/readmsg.aspx?msgid=19638401 siliconinvestor.com I can't find the post from last century when I calculated the CO2 levels we have produced. SI's search function isn't good enough. It was about 10% using boe calculation. Mqurice
