Description

Proponents of the Green New Deal talk about carbon footprint and CO2 atmospheric catastrophe as if its increase was the last word in climate change. In the face of reality, CO2 is not the major nemesis; it’s methane. Methane is 20-times the strength of CO2 for damage to our atmosphere. I think I know why. There’s a dirty little secret in the environment, and we are being sold a fraudulent excuse thanks to the Green New Deal, even though the hoax has been around since before we started counting CO2 in the atmosphere.

The nature of this dirty little secret will be explained in my r1 argument, and you will understand why I say, “Leave my steak alone.” You want to be a vegan, be my guest. But environmentally, attacking my right to eat a filet mignon, chateaubriand, and a good, old T-bone whenever I want is not in your purview. I suggest looking to your own footprint. Your methane footprint.

Good luck on the editing. If any get audio editions (I mostly get books in while driving), I'll be sure to check them out.

And with that, my friends, having completed my last argument of my last debate for now, I wave a fond, and hopefully brief farewell hiatus, self-imposed; a necessity I have found necessary to indulge. I have a couple of unfinished books badly in need of editing, and some associated artwork; a science fiction [my first in that genre] and another non-fiction. I wish you good luck, best wishes, and fond memories. Be well. Be happy. Be productive.

AAAAARRRRRRGGGGGHHHHHH!

Try to make less spaces in the sources. People are less to read your sources consider they have to constantly scroll up n’ down.

Sorry. I'ii try to do better, but I do virtually all my work on my iMac with 3 x 27" screens. That way, I can maximize my page to over 160%. I like working large scale. For you, that doesn't exist. It's not that I'm blind; I have 25/20 [at 70, that's a miracle!]

here.

Can you use less space for the sources? Good God scrolling is painful on my touchpad.
