No, i speak of cutting to zero sarcastically. I used it to make a point that doing NOTHING is just that, doing NOTHING, and that we are already doing something by producing co2, so your statement of, we should do nothing is meaningless. Its like saying, we are all rowing our boat down river, someone says, ohh, i think we are approaching a waterfall! We should slow down to see before we go over the edge. And you would be the dude saying, no, full speed ahead, don't be crazy.
Seriously, you actually took my statement as meaning i think we SHOULD cut to zero? You need to work on your reading comprehension, and learn not to grab onto the one statement you think you can argue against without actually, say, READING it.
