  Already there's a fight

  Both Gar and Pan need to provide references for some extraordinary claims. Especially for this one: "are we relying on the very flawed study of char in boreal forest soils to paint a larger picture?" How flawed please? Which study?

  And Pan, criticism is not dismissal.

  The Scientific Reality...

  So the real questions are, what is it that makes people move so slowly on problems involving environmental collapse; what makes them settle for less-than-effective solutions; why are people so self-deceptive?

  Obviously the decades spent trying to reason people out of their torpor have not worked, indeed cannot work.

  Once we know the answers (and we had better find them soon) then we can find an effective motivation and save not just the environment, but also Humanity.

  re: My post was not about Bush...

  As opposed to the "off with their heads," "one strike and you're out" attitude we see far too often on non-green/right-leaning forums about other forms of crime?

  Ignorance is no defense for breaking the law, particularly environmental law. Left or right.
