Hi Sdgla; Within the past year I had a beer with a leftie who agreed that the global warming thingy was over. He was all on to ocean acidification. Basically the CO2 is the place for the Luddites to push because it's the lynchpin of industry. So I'm guessing that they'll keep pounding on it. But it's like the "Boy Who Cried Wolf". You only get one opportunity to scare the s**t out of the planet with talk of doom. So I don't think that acidification is politically possible so soon after the collapse of warming. And by the time another generation of ijuts has grown old enough to vote it will be too late to talk about CO2. So I'm kind of wondering what it will be next. I'd have to guess "chemicals" in general. I'd guess it will be genetically modified organisms. Same believers, same alarmism, but the difference is that science is solidly in favor of GMOs. -- Carl
