15. I just said I wasn't convinced (yet), not that I can't be convinced.

And I'm still grappling with what you wrote.

"the only commercialized new form of energy discovered in the last two thousand years by the finest minds of the 20th century."
-- er, that's a very awkward phrase. Not sure why you wrote it like that.

"You asked why the world's carbon dioxide accumulations are accelerating at a rate practically beyond comprehension, I provided an answer, and without any deeper analysis, you rejected it based on faith and supposition. " --You actually didn't give a reason why CO2 levels are going up so much. You imply it has to do with new renewable energy sources, but it's not clear to me how wind and solar are causing more CO2 release.

"so called "renewable energy," which was, after all abandoned by humanity nearly two centuries ago because most people lived short miserable lives"-- I really don't know what this means.

"So called "renewable energy" hasn't been sustainable, it isn't sustainable, and it won't be sustainable."-- really? There's no way there can be new better technologies that ARE sustainable?

thanks... interesting to think the increase in atmospheric C02 is due to release from a warmer ocean Fast Walker 52 Apr 2016 #10

I'm not convinced it is "quixotic" Fast Walker 52 Apr 2016 #13
Well, then, with all due respect, actual data conflicts with your failure to be convinced. NNadir Apr 2016 #14
