The fact that dumping too much CO2 into the atmosphere is a Bad Idea
was equally well understood 17 years ago.

And yet we *still* have Senators with snowballs denying it.

See RFC1335.  The problem was recognized back in 1992 - which is why the
IETF chartered the whole IPng thing.  Some of us recognized it would be
less painful to get things working sooner rather than later - and some
didn't.

Now, if you want to be the Senator with the snowball, be my guest. It
may make for interesting TV, but I can hardly recommend it as a busines
model.
