The west antarctic ice sheet is melting at an unprecedented rate.. if it all goes into the ocean, sea levels will rise by about a meter. You are correct that we should ask if it can be reduced.. We are currently involved in a proposal that explores capturing CO2 from the atmosphere.. That may cost about 100/ton CO2.. if there was a carbon tax, that might be doable. it is not clear yet, but total research on this so far <10 Million. Total research each year on oil and gas exploration >2 billion. Lawrence M.

That may be true at some level, and indeed during a period of the earth’s history when there was more CO2 (hundreds of millions of years ago), there were very large plants of certain types... but what does this imply, really? more corn in the arctic? do we need more corn in the arctic? He has cherry picked data, the typical act of those who believe the answer before they ask the question. Lawrence M.
