If global warming does happen, there is going to be a lot of new resources available. If Russia figures this out, and CO2 really does control the global climate, Russia could just light its unusable coal seams on fire ...

Re: Mammoth ivory
Bro, me doggies alert me on a regular basis of creatures that have thawed out of the Siberian permafrost and are roaming the streets.
I was forced to post the following at the local dog park.
"Attention: water dogs, coyotes, feral hogs, bears!
Please use the existing mud wallows before starting a new one.
Thanks,
Fid

... The stars were suns, but so far away they were just little points of light ... The scale of the universe suddenly opened up to me. It was a kind of religious experience. There was a magnificence to it, a grandeur, a scale which has never left me. Never ever left me.
