I watched Tom Friedman's on "Meet the press" yesterday and he feels China will go green as a matter of survival. He said we also need to get over the idea that the word envirnomentalist is a bad word. I also watched the documentary "global Warming "Tom Browkaw. The good thing I got out of that documentary and the one by Al Gore is the near perfect correlation betwee amounts of Co2 (carbon dioxide) in the atmosphere and the warmth of the earth going back at least 650,000 years. That is the one correlation the naysayers to global warming can't debate effectively. At no time in the last 650,000 years did carbon dioxide exceed 300 parts per million and we are now near 400 parts per million. That fact pretty much puts this debate to bed for all practical purposes. Like Darwins theory of evolution most likey all that is left is refining the details. Also Toyota's electrical hybrid uses 5 times as much copper as a regular car.

Well, today should be interesting in the metals. I googled halibut and spent the morning reading up on them. I was really confused becasue I was sure there were two species. I was sure I read that? I have never even heard of a large halibut being caugth off of the California coast; and I have a shadow memory of a book once saying the California halibut weighs up to 80 lbs? Which jived with my own experiences. I was a big fisherman in my youth. But apparently there is only on species of halibut and they run all the way to Baja california. My great grandfather caught them off of a peir in Morrow Bay, but they were only about 30 libs or so. And it also looks like there is an atlantic halibut that is also the same species although they have a different bone structure. Maybe like the difference between brown bears and grizzly bears--i.e. same species?/ Very puzzling as in california before th sardines were wiped out there was a ton of food which is the reason for the size difference in grizzly bears, I think??
