Why does every cure for pollution or destruction of resources always come down to, "Turn off the Lights?"

Gotta start somewhere!

Regarding your other posts in this thread; not sure what you mean by the Memorex question or your offer of a doughnut -- I'll make mine glazed with maple creme. Regarding Mauna Loa, they make daily measurements but amalgamate them into monthly averages; an article I found indicates that they do (easily) detect caldera degassing and QC those measurements out of the data set. As for other places, I'm sure it's being done (the World Ocean Circulation Experiment has done thousands of shipboard measurements to quantify and map the spatial and temporal variability of air-sea CO2 flux), but I can't point you to sources. Mauna Loa is the long-term reference record.

Now we're back to having all our eggs in one basket.

You said that you are editing and synopsizing what you read which is another way to say that you are not a source of the material you post.

The Memorex reference is to the commercial that used to run about fidelity to the original on recording tape; I see a link.

But then, I am often cryptic.

There's an old saying that sums up a person's certainty where he offers to bet a dollar to a doughnut; I just turned it around.

You know that you are only as certain as your weighted evidence and we have discussed the reasonable measures we could take as a society without causing harm before; but you also must recognize that the passion of the true believers will brook no resistance and they must strike while the "iron is hot," so can't we allow at least some volleying here even if it does go out of "bounds" now and then?

Where are the other sites?

How many are there?

I can't find a list on the Net.
