A different take on the popular ‘Carbon Dioxide Narrative’
A cogent construct worthy of serious consideration! (e.g. an anecdote to ‘outcome based’ modeling)… https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S-nsU_DaIZE 3 tons

I'll follow up with a discussion I recently had with my 36 year old daughter which somewhat opened my eyes.
Her opinion is us boomers should leave politics relating to the direction of our nations future to the people who will be living in it. We should stop trying to dictate what the world should be after we are all dead. We had our years of control and moments that matter. Technology changes with the seasons and it's not our place to say where it should be applied in regards to their future. We should now enjoy our golden years we planned for all those years and not worry about THEIR future and the world THEY will live in. That's their job now. If they want to go green, let them. It's their mistake to make. Only the future will tell and we won't be alive to see the outcome.
I couldn't argue with her. I realized as long as my DW and I can live out our last 20 years or so in comfort why should we try to define what takes place after that. Just don't burn down the house in the meantime.
A few days after that discussion I talked to my 33 yr old daughter about this. She point blank said we have messed things up enough already. Leave the world to them to clean up. Anyone over 65 should lose their right to drive and vote. We're in their way.
I always admired her sharp directness but I felt I took that one between the eyes.
Maybe we should all just chill out, not be so divided as a nation and let the next generation plan their future.
Now, what you say? Think this post will last an hour?
