It does no good to conserve on carbon only to run out of silicates. If we restrict carbon usage to control rods for nuclear energy, that should be sufficient until we can mine Venus for carbon.<br /><br />And yes, the only dubious thing about what Michio Kaku has put out so far has been this inexplicable belief in something as outlandish as "climate change."Marion Delgadohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09493068399042656060noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8524070301101240472.post-10509882486758016752011-01-11T17:12:32.165-08:002011-01-11T17:12:32.165-08:00Obtain the carbon from the air<a href="http://www.nanowerk.com/spotlight/spotid=17198.php" rel="nofollow">Obtain the carbon from the air</a>David B.

I think I know what you mean.
Both commen...Hmmm. I think I know what you mean. <br />Both comments exhibit a lack of knowledge. I find the digression on sulphur dioxide to be confusing to say the least. Graphene will be useful, but is hardly going to solve our problems. Finally, the amount of carbon involved in the carbon cycle etc is vast, and it is rather hard to see how it could be important with regards to the future. <br /><br />There are many people who read superficially about things, and will speak about them afterwards as if they know all about them. The fact that their knowledge is fragmented and therefore of little use just does not seem to matter. Mayhap this approach is encouraged by the approbation given to those who do well at quiz's, when all that requires is a good memory. Knowledge or information is not the same as wisdom.<br />Anyway, I think it would be possible to be too hard on these people. <br />Yet I see their like all over the place, and strive not to be that way myself, easy though it is to fall into. I see one reason it exists as being the remaining, debased idea of exaltation of the amateur and problem solver, who naturally can see and do and make more sense than the narrow minded professional. Also democratic ideals pose no threat to people spouting off. <br />Maybe also people seem to find it so easy to speculate without taking things seriously. If people fully realised what is going on in the world, rather than talking as if they did, I am convinced things would be a bit different.guthriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17992984293423290387noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8524070301101240472.post-34573904102172501992011-01-11T09:33:50.447-08:002011-01-11T09:33:50.447-08:00Perhaps relevant: http://www.ftrain.com/wwic.htmlPerhaps relevant: http://www.ftrain.com/wwic.htmlIan Bickinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14191618747406426837noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8524070301101240472.post-76742365369053296492011-01-11T02:38:13.195-08:002011-01-11T02:38:13.195-08:00Australia is fuc*ed - I hope this will go through ...Australia is fuc*ed - I hope this will go through :-)<br /><br />http://www.desdemonadespair.net/2011/01/video-deadly-australia-floods-spark.htmlAlexander Achttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16845172528191878930noreply@blogger.com
