Hi Keith I work out of university Internet café 2 or 3 hours at time, not every day, and just don’t have time to reply to all of your many posts. Chaos takes a eureka moment like seeing the first pictures of the entire Earth taken from outer space. The entire domain can be seen without knowing all or even many of the details.
Health problems related to fossil fuels is another good reason for renewable energy. Understanding how energy flows through ocean currents adds more details to the map. Kill all the lawyers and then all the scientists. Scientists are cautious about what they report and the conclusions section of peer reviewed papers will have disclaimers suggesting more research. Journalists pick and chose what is reported in the press. I’m told by associates that you can only get one crop per year from dry paddy and two from wet paddy. They also raise fish in the paddies that keep pests down, minimizes the need for fertilizer, and additional income. No need to reply to my posts and are only offered as food for thought, something for the archives.
