There is much more to climate change than carbon dioxide. Of all the molecules rising to cause stronger storms, longer droughts, more fires, pestilence, local extinctions, and sea level rising, global carbon is the easiest to measure as an indicator of overall planet health. …
The solution is two steps. First, every nation must achieve net zero emissions by decreasing CO2 emissions. Second, is to dramatically increase CO2 capture or drawdown. Blessed with geothermal energy, Iceland is leading the way with no fossil fuel burning for heat or electricity. Fossil fuels are only burned by…
I think it is all vision and not storytelling, Sean. The story of polar bears needing icebergs was made up to motivate people to tell legislators to act on climate change. …
Seriously, you don’t know how to measure carbon in the soil? Batteries are not required. Peter Donovan fashioned for me two steel infiltration rings. Pound it into the ground with a rubber mallet and pour in one tuna fish can worth of water. (As long as you use the same…

You can't teach those who do not wish to learn. Well said. I do not think you hot-headed at all which is why I engage in word play with you.
