Is it fair for me to just dismiss this as irrelavent without bothering to read it, since The American Prospect is claimed to be "the nation's most influential Liberal publication"?
unless you were dismissing it on ideological grounds?
I wasn't dismissing anything. I was simply asking if it was fair to. I was simply trying to make a point, nevermind. I won't waste your time trying to explain further, as I seem to be doing a poor job of it. 
[Except to say, no, it isn't fair for me to dismiss it. /shrug]

Surely anthropogenic greenhouse gases are building up and warming the atmosphere, and if it continues unabated, we'll lose some coastline and habitable islands over time. This is indeed a Bad Thing.
However, every cloud had a silver lining, and the lining on the greenhouse gas clouds is this - mankind now has a weapon with which to stave off the inevitable post-interglacial global freezing!
Losing coastline sucks, but then so does losing landmass!

Making the reaction go further towards completion (by providing more Oxygen) would help quite a lot.
A catalytic converter may be too expensive for such a small engine unless a cheaper catalyst can be found (Pt is too damn expensive).
It shouldn't be very hard to use a 4 stroke instead of a 2 stroke. Diesel should probably not be used as it requires a more robust construction which would be more expensive.
Maybe it wont be able to get to car level pollution but at least it will be lower then what it is now.
Radioactive GM Crops.
Slightly above background.
Safe to eat.
But no activist would dare rip it out.
As they think it gives them cancer. |
