not far from you in Minnesota. And we've had good rain. And with the heat and longer growing season the forest growth rate and wildlife has exploded. There are many feedback loops, positive and negative, but among the negative feedback loops are ocean evaporation and plant growth and soil carbon sequestration. I'm not selling anything or trying to influence policy. I'm just saying leave the Earth alone long enough to let it heal itself. It might take some water and fire prevention. If you had some irritating parasites living on your skin biting and chewing on you, you would lose equilibrium, too. I've been out here for over a half century, with time enough spent around "experts." We need some good old fashioned conservation. NOAA, "scientists emphasize that increases in CO2 that occur in this century "lock in" sea level rise that would slowly follow in the next 1,000 years. Considering just the expansion of warming ocean waters -- without melting glaciers and polar ice sheets -- the authors find that the irreversible global average sea level rise by the year 3000 would be at least 1.3 -- 3.2 feet (0.4 -- 1.0 meter) if CO2 peaks at 600 parts per million, and double that amount if CO2 peaks at 1,000 parts per million." The Canadian study predicts, "unstoppable effects to the climate for at least the next 1,000 years, causing researchers to estimate a collapse of the West Antarctic ice sheet by the year 3000 and an eventual rise
