Re: FW: - Climate Change Hearings and the roll(?) of nuclear power

Kai,

The reference for the USA having net DECREASE of CO2 was given me again at the

Doctorsd for Disaster Preparedness meeting by Dr Sally Balliunas, Harvard

astrophysicist, as Fan, Science mag, 1999. She says I'll find it on line.



As I understand it, the CO2 goes into wood, of which we have 50% more than 50

years ago.



Sally's fourth presentation, Willie Soon's second and Art Robinson's, (leader of

the Petition Project, at OISM.org) and others should have relieved your "peeve".

I hope you will attend next year in Phoenix, where Balling ("The Heated Debate")

and his son grow better sour orange trees with more CO2. We'll visit them again

next summer.



Radsafe pertinence is that the global warming discrepancies seems to be the only

subject with more presentations at DDP in 20 years than the LNT discrepancies.

Scientists should work for truth, not specialty boost by stepping on others,

wouldn't you agree?
