And I was struck silent by the huge ramifications - he really didn't get technical in his talk. Thank you for summarizing it well. (It seems anyone with email address of a university or non profit can get AGU access to videos ) I got the impression that the AGU had much good information this year - but on top of it all was a veneer of government and industry optimists peddling their ideas - basically that some combination of more research and capitalist investment in lots of clever projects - and everything will turn out OK. Thank you for calling attention to these videos. rpaulihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00016149709193595632noreply@blogger.com
