   Like The Gutenberg Project, but it has to be older than 100 years or so before   
   they'll carry it.

   I've grabbed a couple like that, too - fun stuff! My latest acquisition is a   
   couple of English's first dictionaries.

   & you'd be 100% right, per my research!   
      
   We've been far warmer than the 1`C they're afraid we'll heat things up to,   
   millions opf years before human existed, & we've had far more atmospheric CO2   
   than all that humans have produced, in toto.   
      
   With greater atmospheric carbon, came greater speciation (evolution)& with   
   lower levels came mass extinctions.   
      
   Maybe a few more species of plants might produce a panacea 1,000X better than   
   garlic!   
      
   That Iceland volcanic eruption about 10-15 years ago produced more CO2 in one   
   minute than humans have produced in total, ever.   
      
   Volcanos have been an integral part of Earth's carbon & climate cycles since   
   day one.   
      
   The sun has several interlinking cycles & in the one we're in now, we're   
   actually a tad cooler than in previous ones of the same configuration.   
      
   There's no money in trying to get people to believe we're coopperating with   
   Nature as she is.  But try to headbutt against her & it's a never-ending losing   
   battle, you can blame on those not paying you enough to stop it.   
      
   My other take on the situatoin relies more on others' cynicism, as I've noted   
   the climate change criers are the ones burhning more fossil fuels than any of   
   the rest of us!   
      
   Gore's plantation-sized complex uses 5X+ more energy than thestate average.   
      
   & it's funny how all the leaders of the movement have recently spent 7-figures   
   each buying ocean-front properties (That's like paying thousands for a sand   
   castle as the tide is coming in)   
      
   I do my part by not wasting materials/food/plastic/etc & recycling where   
   possible.   
      
   I'm not part of the problem, even if it is as described by these self serving   
   billionaires, so I ain't going to sweat it.  When the carbon cards come out   
   I'll have no choice but to pay to support the scam,. but when have I had a   
   choice where taxes are concerned -- oh, yeah, once, & we voted it out, now they   
   don't give us the opportunity any more! *LOL*
