Good points. I also want us to hit that sweet point but worry that if
something becomes a cult, even religion than it runs away without us being
able to evaluate as things progress. As we have seen seas are rising as they
have over the past 150 years, and measures have to be taken to protect
people. The Netherlands did it 500 years ago, Florida and coastal cities
have to do that now. Forest fires and hurricanes will continue but damage
will increase if humans enact stupid/irresponsible  regulations or take
chances and make things even worse as they have in “blue” California and
“red” Texas.

Stay safe

George,

Thank you for the document. As you said, somewhat old reference, but one of
many puzzle pieces to review before having any hope of guessing the full
content and final message of the completed puzzle.

Like most of us, I believe that Technology-Mother Nature's collection and
sequestration of the vast amount of CO2 over the Earth's long geologic past
(compared to our existence), brought about the Goldilocks environment that
enabled our evolution. 

However, over the past ~150 years, we have discovered and liberally used the
CO2's de-sequestration control knob for our convenience and comfort. Using
this knob without an informed consensus and proper future global planning
can be as devastating over the long run as tap dancing on a floor with an
embedded nuclear button over the short run.

Bottom line: I hope our global leaders will hit the sweet spot of prudence
and wisdom in manipulating this "double-edge blade" control knob because:

*	If minimally used, it would propel us into a more advanced,
non-fossil fuel technological stage
*	If maximally used ("Burn, baby! Burn!"), it could reset us back to a
basic tool maker/user stage

My 2� on the topic,

Tony Galaitsis

This is a bit old but the closest I have seen of actually trying to get the
pro and con group together.
