Researchers in Finland theorize that the unprecedented number of evergreens north of the 45th (approx. the Vermont/Canada border) parallel absorb heat especially during short days and slowly emit the warmth in comparison to ice or snow fields. They predict that prevailing summer westerly winds could drive forest fires the breadth of Canada converting heat absorbing evergreen areas to vast snow filelds the next winter reversing the cycle.

About a year ago I read an article in Wired Magazine that interviewed someone, whose name I do not recall, who suggested putting lots of iron filings in iron-poor areas of the South Pacific, which would cause huge algal blooms in the middle of the ocean that would soak up CO2 and sink, sequestering the CO2 in the bottom of the ocean.

You guys had some poor girl on that was worried about losing her apartment. If this guy does not know what is going on, then why spread fear to the mass public about events of nature that happen in cycles over millions of years or at the most accelerated as decades. If you get a geologist on your show, he can tell you the over the billions of years the earth has had ice caps melt and refreeze. As your guest stated, 62 millions years ago the world water levels were higher then they are know and I don’t think the dinosaurs had the technology to create CO pollution and green house gases. The dinosaurs did not ever have an industrial age to raise the temps and melt ice caps.
