I've always agreed with you on that.

Now where'd I put that butterfly? As to the investigation I just referenced, I'd say it hasn't been out long enough to include in any simulations, and we well know that is the case for data current & historical on the bottom of the deep blue seas. Can we say conspiracy of little errors? Sure we can.

I'd spend a little more on investigating more of that 1/4 million or more underwater volcanoes if it were my money. Oh wait; some of it IS my money.

I'd love to see more research in these areas as well.

Regardless, I still stand by my assertions that the climate models are fairly accurate, even without these missing factors ("little errors").

Speaking of equalling out, how much charcoal buried in the garden equals out a 170 mile drive @15mpg? I want to pay forward for a hole hunt.

That's ~11.3 gallons. Multiply that by the weight of carbon in a gallon of gasoline (~5.5 lbs.) and you end up with ~62 lbs. of carbon to sequester. That's quite a bit of charcoal for a backyard enthusiast and a surprisingly high number for such a relatively short trip.

Numbers from here: How can 6 pounds of gasoline create 19 pounds of Carbon dioxide?
