Probably your only chance would be an oxygen pack for each family member
and a corresponding number of electric mopeds. I guess you guys couldn't
call the bromfietsen then :-)

Plus a LOUD CO2 alarm.

Did you really read John's quote? Quote of quote: "K and I will keep
them out somehow � even if we have to redefine what the peer-review
literature is ! "

If this was truly said then I have lost all respect for those guys. Any
and all. But they have already lost much of it a long time ago, at least
in this neighborhood (which is full of engineers).

I like this one:

/quote

The fact is that we can't account for the lack of warming at the
moment and it is a travesty that we can't.

/end quote

But the science is settled:(

Awaits a follow up from a George Soros shill.

Lake Nyos is a deep lake and the water was saturated with CO2 from the
bottom up. The pressure at the bottom of the lake is a lot higher than
at the surface, so the CO2 concentration at the bottom of the lake was
a lot higher than that at the top.

This is an unstable situation, and once a part of the deeper water
started moving towards the surface, the CO2 started coming out of
solution, making that volume of water and CO2 less dense, so that it
rose more rapidly.

As your web-site says a "300-foot (91 m) fountain of water and foam
formed at the surface of the lake".

The CO2 to be stored a couple of kilometres under Barendrecht, in an
exhausted natural gas field, would have a rather tougher time getting
out. The natural gas field held the the natural gas under Barendrecht
without letting it out since Barendrecht started keeping written
records, and most likely for a few hundred million years before that,
so the two situations don't seem to be entirely comparable.

Darwin's Theory of Evolution wasn't based on experiment. Neither is
modern astronomy.
Would you like to detail the errati, faddish and incorrect parts of
these areas of science?
