    Going back to the subject, I will read the entire paper,but was grabbing linkt to quote. The best material for a debate is the one presented. ;)

    Right in chapter 1, it discusses the feedback loop of frozen co2.
    keep going. the chapter about conflict caused by climate change was particularly interesting to me, of course; the US Army has been thinking about that since before i was a grunt (not least because our military is, in fact, the biggest polluting entity... "in the wuhld"). and oh yeah, my 10-year anniversary of getting out was a few months ago.

      I don't drive a cool daily anymore (well 335d is still a hoot), but I build them for a living, and "daily" cars that are cool.

      Am I the bootmaker's mentor? :P

        a good bootmaker is a mentor. knowledge should be shared, not compartmentalized or monetized. it's a specialty, not a position of authority. being good at chassis, suspension, and brakes to the point where i can build a naturally-aspirated 4-banger that'll leave 6cyl turbo cars in the canyons doesn't elevate me above anyone else, it just means i'm a nerd about that.

        so you're a weaponized nerd. bootmaker is just the polite term. :P​

        i hear those 335d diesels respond really well to a reflash...
