Regarding CO2 warming. rferl.org "Sakharov firmly believed that the United States and the Soviet Union should overcome their animosity and pool their resources to combat environmental degradation and poverty in the poorest countries. In his 1968 manifesto, he warned that "carbon dioxide from the burning of coal is altering the heat-reflecting qualities of the atmosphere." "Sooner or later, this will reach a dangerous level, " he said, calling for an international program of "geohygiene." Now when it comes to science, Sakharov is no slouch. He knew stuff. en.wikipedia.org You must of missed that.... he was Russian too of course -g- He had this idea of a database of information that everyone could access... i.e. the Internet. "In 1974, Sakharov described a "universal information system (UIS), which will give everyone access at any given moment to the contents of any book that has ever been published or any magazine or any fact. The UIS will have individual miniature-computer terminals, central control points for the flood of information, and communication channels incorporating thousands of artificial communications from satellites, cables, and laser lines. Even the partial realization of the UIS will profoundly affect every person, his leisure activities, and his intellectual and artistic development. But the true historic role of the UIS will be to break down the barriers to the exchange of information among countries and people."He didn't foresee fake news on this "UIS" though. Everyone is fallible I guess.
