>Summary: we've seen what an increase of 87 ppm did. We can't
really take another 170 ppm (twice that) without real
problems. 

Let's not be parochial here. The planet had far more life when the CO2 level 
was closer to 1% than the current 0.037%. In fact, it may be the only way to 
stop an Ice Age. So you have to replace your poodle with a Deinonychus, it's 
better than global ice sheets.

>Time for wind power and pebble bed fission reactors,

Can't argue with that. Some He-3/deuterium reactors would be nice too, while 
we're discussing the alternate world where people are numerate enough to know 
that coal power plants release 100 times the radioactivity that even 
old-technology fission plants do.

Steve, it's time for you to sell that poodle farm in Bangladesh and get with 
the program.
