Seven years on, still no deployment to the fields? A cynic in me says this: ten years to agree upon method, ten years to agree upon best deployment of method globally, ten years to collect necessary funds and defraud them. After that it is thirty years on, and a science made significant progress, so we definitely need better, newer methods, based on our now better understanding of things. A riddle for you readers: About 38 years ago certain anonymous man working for my city planted a tree in the front of my house. Few years later there was hot summer and the tree might have not survived it. My grandfather watered it down few times, walking with bucket full of water down and up stairs. A tree is now about 15 meters high, my grandpa is no more. Question: who did more to save the planet during this last thirty-something years? How much more could have been done if people stuck to simple things instead of inventing geeky-freaky schemes? -- Regards, Tomasz Rola -- ** A C programmer asked whether computer had Buddha's nature. ** ** As the answer, master did "rm -rif" on the programmer's home ** ** directory.
