How unfortunate. What little respect I had for Lindaberry has just dropped another notch with the above comment. First off, the statement is not true. Since the early 1950's the atmospheric CO2 level has increased by 15%, not .1% as Lindaberry claims. This is a undisputable measured quantity - the rise is double that when one considers the change since industrialization. If water is draining into and out of a fountain at a constant rate - I.E. the fountain is running - dripping water into the fountain at any rate will eventually cause the fountain to overflow - this is true no matter how large the fountain is. I expected slightly better from Lindaberry. Perhaps he should review the algebra of related rates. -- <---->
