Not true. Some processes bury CO_2 on the mantle, or the ocean floor, or in carbonate deposits, or oil and cola deposits. Its all about a balance - for CO_2 stabilisation to occur, generation of CO_2 must balance the rate of removal. However to retain economic growth, absolute decoupling must occur, in order for economic growth not to increase the rate of CO_2 production. -- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- A/Prof Russell Standish Phone 0425 253119 (mobile) Mathematics UNSW SYDNEY 2052 [EMAIL PROTECTED] Australia http://www.hpcoders.com.au ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ============================================================ FRIAM Applied Complexity Group listserv Meets Fridays 9a-11:30 at cafe at St. John's College lectures, archives, unsubscribe, maps at http://www.friam.org
