Geode, an extra decade won't be much use. I haven't seen any global warming or sea level rise in nearly 60 years, so I doubt that a bonus 10 will help. The subject is CO2 and avoidance of ice age. Same as all along. You call it global warming. I call it avoidance of ice age. It's the same thing. What subject was changed and to what? BTW, when did you come to "understand" the greenhouse effect and global warming? You have the wild enthusiasm of a new convert. It's like a teenager discovering sex - they think they invented it. They don't understand that the old geezers have seen it all before. I have been playing "greenhouse effect" among other environmental issues, professionally since 1983, which is now 23 years ago, nearly quarter of a century, and was an environmentalist since about 1960 when I realized the Manukau Harbour was being destroyed and midges started swarming over Mangere and sewage treatment plant miasma polluted our air and turned our house black. Now that I think of it, I was professionally being environmentalist in the early 1970s, when I was working at Onehunga Borough Council and at Texaco Canada [solving the leaking underground storage tank problem and dealing with health and environmental issues]. All my life I have known that it's an excellent idea to not pollute one's surroundings. CO2 is not a pollutant. It's plant food. It's like many things - too much is bad, too little is bad. It's funny to see ignorant amateurs lecturing about this that and the other. Even when one explains to them how things really work, they are usually so self-righteous and self-important that they don't listen, and too scientifically illiterate to understand. That means you Geode! Mqurice
