Renewable Revolution

Reply to AGELBERT ONLY:

let's try to stay on track, okay? We need to agree on the PHYSICAL state of the biosphere BEFORE we address the reason Homo SAPS are so destructive (i.e. ROOT causes).
Please answer the extinction post.

Do you mean the table you posted of proven animal extinctions? I did respond, above. It was not much of a response, because I don't know what  sort of answer you are looking for. You did not ask me a question; you just presented some data.

I agree that extinctions of animals is a very bad thing, if that is what you were wondering.

Please tell me what China has done to improve the environment and what it has done to degrade it in the last 30 years.

That's a very big question!

I posted a large volume of material on that subject a few years back on DD. You were present, and commented on it. You could re-read that thread, and you would find it very informative I'm sure. Also, most of the information would still be pertinent, i.e. the passage of a few years would not have changed much.

I have not, over the last couple  years, kept up with the subject very well, except to cut and paste a few things to my files more or less in passing. It has not been my major topic of interest.

You will forgive me if I cannot maintain a goodly level of expertise on that subject while also studying scores of other subjects, working for a living, participating in many different things with different people, maintaining my health, and generally living a life.
