re: #9 Obdicut

We can’t really direct fix this. It’s gas bubbling up over a huge area.

We need to hyperinvest in green technology. We need to do it right away. Nuclear, tidal generators, hydro, solar, everygoddamnthing, right away. We need to stop throwing away crap when it gets a little break and fix it instead. We need to look back at some of the values of our ancestors— the smart ones, anyway.

The thing I will NEVER understand is why people who are so vehemently opposed to the idea of addressing AGW seem to go out of their way to overlook the enormous potential for brand-new industries and as-yet unimagined spin-off technologies that would very likely come from treating this like the Manhattan Project or the Apollo Project.

One of the major benefits of big-ticket research projects is that they often yield things, sometimes by accident, that improve life.

Some Apollo Project spinoffs…
