I'm eager to see the finished product. I bet it's going to look great. It'll just be a bit heavier than you've gotten used to moving around.

If I have anything negative to say about the scientific "establishment" it is that scientists are VERY cautious and deliberate and it usually takes a VERY long time with much, much, much repetition before establishing or changing a major theory. On such large issues, an elephant practically has to be sitting on your couch before the world agrees that something's amiss. I know that's part of what gives science its credibility, but on such an important issue, I think it's prudent to look at the preponderance of evidence and make decisions in a more timely manner. The CO2 issue isn't just about the levels of CO2... It's about the type of carbon isotope that comprises the CO2. Since the ratios are changing, and more of the stable type (C-12) is appearing in the atmosphere, it shows that fossil fuels (millions of years old) are the source that are diluting our atmospheric composition. It's not just that CO2 levels are rising, but the carbonic composition is changing as a result of the burning of fossil fuels. I tend to look very skeptically at the reports that "industry scientists" produce and often find glaring holes in them, as a result. Their shortcomings, of course, aren't what make the headlines because one has to understand the process in order to interpret the results.
