No, of course not. I think one of the big problems with most climate
discussions is that people have formed very tight camps around
certain plans, and absolutely refuse to countenance mentions of
other possibilities. I suspect that real climate solutions will be
messy mixes of approaches.<br>

Thanks. Actually, many of the worst comments come from groups that I
have absolutely no respect for, so they paradoxically boost my ego.
Who knew there was so many bioconservative climate denialists? I
always believed the biggest rage would be from the more normal
greens. <br>

I actually think that was why I came up with the idea in our
discussions while writing the paper. I remembered some of our
earlier discussions about reduced Mars expeditions. <br>

That is going to take a long while... but it will fun doing it. <br>

Of course, I am already together with a tall blond Swede, so I might
be out of the game for the moment :-)<br>
