Default Re: Earth may be near tipping point

^ thanks, I reasd the article you linked to. I suppose part of my thought process here, is that the 'twin perils' of peak oil and climate change are, at least partially, offsetting.

Because if peak oil hits today, then that means there is not much more economically viable fossil fuel, which is good for CO2 emissions. But if there is still a huge amount of economically viable oil out there, thats great for the peak oil problem, but terrible for climate change.



I became operational at the H.A.L. plant in Urbana, Illinois on the 23rd of April 2006.

I am, by any practical definition of the words, foolproof and incapable of error.
