Thus, just by simple logic, this means that the idea that once rainforest is gone, it is gone forever is obviously a myth. If people have been in the forests for centuries, clearing huge areas for agriculture and other purposes, and now it's hard to even find evidence of their civilization, the rainforest obviously gro... | 0_0 |

Different methods exist for calculating heat units depending on a) the crop or biological organism of interest and b) the whim or personal preference of the researcher.

Finally, what is the purpose of all of this? Answer is, to try to emulate a simple climate model projection.

For though economic betterment was their banner, there is little doubt that Gorbachev and his supporters first set out to right moral, rather than economic, wrongs.

When we look at the temperature profile of the air, we see a cold lower level, and a nice about zero layer a bit above 40 km (and above the max ozone). What this says to me is that we have a very simple existence proof that the CO2 in the troposphere is rather irrelevant. Convection takes the heat right past it, up to ... | 2_3 |

Joel Schwartz (American Enterprise Institute): NRDC uses emissions from 1996 to "predict" ozone levels, smog levels, in the 2050s. So we're already below the emissions of 1996, and emissions continue to drop because of fleet turnover to cleaner vehicles, because power plants are getting cleaner. And most of those emiss... | 0_0 |
