It appears I was working off an old draft of the kyoto protocol. Instead article 3 of the current protocol only stipulates that forests play an important role as a carbon sink... and it can only be a carbon sink if it is not burning.
see earlier posts about how combustable australian bush is.
I thought that on your generic brain neuron there were many dendrites at the bit with the nucleus in it, and one axon (with the myelin sheath) and then many dendrites on the end of that.
i only heard this when reading a pamphlet on the debilitating disease MS.
FWIW, australia's state level governments (such as the Victorian Bracks government) are all imposing tough emissions controls in line with the kyoto protocol.
The reason why australia didn't ratify kyoto is because kyoto also counts all forest fires as emissions of CO2, because, well, they are emissions of CO2.
Australia has forest fires larger than engliand in the western australian forests every year. If australia ratified kyoto and got on the emissions trading scheme, australia would be economically crippled by having to buy emissions credits all the time. So Howard looked after the bottom line and refused to sign.
Now, if only we could find a way to prevent forest fires. I have a friend who is trying to get a job as a postgraduate research assistant at the Victorian Fire Prevention Center with her very good botany degree... maybe she can help.
The earth tries to change all the time, but we are in a position to do something about it. Once we know what the causes of climate change are, it doesn't matter whose fault it is. We need to maintain our food source, or get off planet and live elsewhere.
If my sun is trying to kill me, I'd like to do anything I can to survive.
We can do it, have a little more faith in the species. Look at all the other things we've done.
I can just imagine seeing this on Reality TV, except that there is an extra rule where your team will be locked inside an airtight container with their equipment and the moon rock material while they frantically attempt to make breathable air.
excellent point. I always thought that eating for the purposes of nutrition was too slow.
Eating for social reasons on the other hand could become a "clubs and societies" activity for people who like cullinary art.
BTW. In Star Trek, the borg aren't evil because they're cyborgs. Geordie is a cyborg. Picard himself had an artificial heart he got when he was stabbed as a young man. The Borg are evil because they're led by a queen who works in a collective, likes universal domination, and they have no dress sense. Basically, the whole borg-are-evil thing is an unfocused dig at stalinist communism/college campus lefties.
Uncle Orson knows a lot about science fiction, and Mormon Orson knows nothing about gay people.
So they're the same person. So what? There are different sides to the same person. I can like Uncle Orson, and not need to care what Mormon Orson has to say about gay people.
Besides, duality of character is a theme of his in Uncle Orson's books.
Maybe a flexible road may not be able to stop the water penetration, but might be able to return (or be pounded) back into its original shape? A small crack stays small, even after many ice expansion cycles, rather than turning into a massive pothole?
Perhaps GL was trying to imply that The Emperor and Vader were very close. To imply that relationship between the Emperor Palpatine and his apprentice was as close as God was to his Son, only evil.
Could backfire totally and after being sentenced to struggle with microsoft visual sourcesafe for a 5 to 10 years, they get back to "The World" and work in a chinese linux environment.

I'd get off at the stop where we can be invisible and say hi to the puppet master.
Just as well, or we'd get spam that says "INCR3A5E THE L3NG7H OF Y0UR CONSCIOUSNESS G1AND"

I can just imagine Odo and Grisham measuring the distances between phaser holes in the bulkheads.
The telemetry would have probably gone something like this:
COLUMBUS:"Purple Mountains! Fruited Plains! Arrrhg!!"
Mission control: Damn. Chute failed to open. Did we install the accelerometers up the right way?
who's yo daddy?

Hi ho, hi ohhh....
You're saying "Bounty Hunters? We don't need that scum."
when you say "a better solution for important stories" possibly missed by non-refreshers, you mean a solution like slashback?

I wonder if this new concrete may enhance the concrete submarine programme for deep submersibles.
Being in something with a bit more toughness, and better tensile strenght might be more reassuring. A little less like going to sea in an eggshell.
How about a concrete jumping castle?

Ignorance killed the cat.
If you can get a charge running forever around a ring of quantum wire, could this mean room temperature 10T magnets?
No more liquid helium!
Or is there something I'm missing here?
