But how much of the climate change research is done on SCs? I would think only a small portion.

Only some of the most prevalent from an institution that the entire world holds in high regard...

No doubt.

P.S.: BTW it was just a Sikh...

P.P.S.: Let's say it was someone planning to do some evil shit... Who takes a nap before doing that?

random fact, mistaking a Sikh for a muslim is a insult to them... they really don't like to be identified as Muslims.

The style of turban is an immediate giveaway, for those paying attention. =^[.]^=

Scientists can don't disclose their research. Scientists are also competitors and research cost money. They are competing for funding. Scientists are looking after their own interest.

I'm not sure I agree. I have read actual research that has been published. I do agree that research funds are competitive and scientists are protective of their funding.

Publication is publication. Request for information are simply request. They can be rejected.

Hey Ray, I thought you had VP status? Did they demote you for your pro-Trump posts?

If only that "Oops" took up as much front page real estate as the original lie.
If only that was a requirement of the modern press.

The Sahara would like a word with you:

At the end of the last Ice Age, the Sahara Desert was just as dry and uninviting as it is today. But sandwiched between two periods of extreme dryness were a few millennia of plentiful rainfall and lush vegetation.

During these few thousand years, prehistoric humans left the congested Nile Valley and established settlements around rain pools, green valleys, and rivers.

Those prehistoric humans must've had one helluva carbon footprint! =^[.]^=

Construction technology is cool, double-edged though. I think we have to improve update the urban planning (aka our life style) as well.

Wish I had saved the link, where they looked at historical desertification and the reversal of it and found that increased CO2 helped turn some deserts back into green areas. It was in the last month or so.

Good to hear. I will be watching the sand pool to be a forest. Should I blow hot air and CO2 to help the process ?

Edit: I think I would work for the existing forest and support fertilizing projects instead.
Edit2: Forgot to mention that my appreciation for your efforts. I've been taught by many scientists/doctors/admin officers/civilian in the ongoing discussion for thyroid cancer in Fukushima that dogmatism doesn't help anything.

There are many other naturals disasters that constently happen and cause as much damage as we do.

US succeeded on NOX. Why not for carbon emission trading ?
