That exact situation exists in many free software situations... doesn't it?

“... the technology to make fossil-free steel is already currently operating with natural gas...”

Natural Gas IS a fossil fuel!

Planting a trillion trees could be our best strategy to tackle climate change. Can we do it?

Greenhouse owners generally spike their air to 1200-1500ppm CO2. That's the compromise between best cost and best for the plants and is lower than these species evolved in.

As to humans, 400ppm causes zero problems, matter of fact, OSHA says 1000ppm for continuous exposure. NIOSH says 10,000 ppm for a 10 hour work shift.

For instance: https://inspectapedia.com/hazmat/Carbon%20_Dioxide_Exposure_...

> It already happens in nature

4000 ppm CO2 was found in nature far before pre-industry came along. Does the fact that anything "happened in nature" make it "ideal?" What is the globally "ideal" level of CO2 anyway? Certainly 200ppm is an order of magnitude low when considering the ideal for plants.

For a couple weeks, there was almost nothing else in the news. JFK was a single tired guy in a submarine? We might be thinking of different Cuban Missile Crises.

Records are set every year. A record just means no observation was previously recorded.

There's a catastrophe every generation that turns out to have been a false alarm by the time the next generation's catastrophe is fabricated.

For instance, my wife was told "no homework tonight since we'll all be dead tomorrow anyway." (Cuban Missile Crisis)

Around the time of the first Earth Day, the predictions of environmental apocalypse were legion, yet societies somehow seem to find ways to fix things that societies broke. They also seem to find ways to fix things that tyrants broke.

When you see dozens of such dire predictions over a lifetime, you start to get skeptical. Skepticism is a good thing, btw. Without it, there wouldn't be any science.

Unfortunately, the people who need to see this most, likely never will.

Thanks. A staff writer for the Guardian. Think I'll look a bit further for a more authoritative (read logical) number.

Strange how someone in the field doesn't seem to know how the Fed works. It's a consortium of 12 PRIVATE banks, given limited oversight in exchange for the power to "print" money out of thin air.

This "warning" about usurping authority comes about 80 years too late, and is far too vague, though Henry Ford wasn't much more explicit, "It is well that the people of the nation do not understand our banking and monetary system, for if they did, I believe there would be a revolution before tomorrow morning."

Yup. Where there's an actual fire, a fire alarm is a good idea.

Putting toxins into the atmosphere is rather different than putting a natural and necessary-for-life substance into the air.

I'm talking about all the sky-falling alarmism in all its forms, past and present.

I'm not a farmer, but I wouldn't even buy a John Deere lawn mower for exactly this reason. The tractor I did buy is a Branson. The engine comes from the same factory that Cummins engines come from (matter of fact, some JD engines come from the Kukje factory) and everything is built with durability in mind. Yes, the dealer is 135 miles away, but since I'm not really depending on the machine to make a living, I can live with that.

Restoring The American Dream by Robert Ringer I read it in '80 or '81.
