Your have made a common logical error, Dr. Harvey. A warmer atmosphere allows more CO2 storage; not the other way around. Don’t believe me, check out Piers Corbyn’s website. Yes, he’s Jeremy’s brother. Piers is at weatheraction.com. Look for the ice-core graphs and observe the time-lag. Temperature leads [CO2]; not follows.

What if some individual with adequate funds decides to start up a business and wants to hire some people to work for her as <a href=“”https://awriter.org/essay-writer/" rel="nofollow">https://awriter.org/essay-writer/">essay writer</a> employees, not as owners. In this new kind of socialism is this to be allowed. If so, what if this enterprise grows to dominate an industry; is that allowed? At what point will the traditional capitalist enterprise simply be forbidden?
