I have the same impression as Keith. There seem to be a lot of global warming activists who want to switch everyone to much more expensive technologies. Or else they have not understood the numbers and think that the cost of making a large reduction in worldwide CO2 emission is not very high -- thinking that little things that don't cost much will make much of a dent in worldwide CO2 emissions. >> Far as I know engineers >> have never been asked how they would refreeze the Arctic Ocean or slow >> the glaciers sliding into the sea. > > Need to stop the forcing first before you can think about reversing the > effects, surely... Surely not, if by stop forcing you mean change people worldwide enough to drastically reduce CO2 emissions. Much more realistic to work on mitigating the effects. _______________________________________________ http://box535.bluehost.com/mailman/listinfo/brin-l_mccmedia.com
