(See Wacki’s Logical Science blog in my blogroll.) That’s worth a lot. Plus, I always look to you for the latest innovations that might help us find a way out of this mess.

And who knows what “Wacki’s blog” is shaping up to be? :)

Really, in terms of debate, I think population is just another topic one has to read up on and get one’s ducks in a row. Like climate change, it does take time though. :-/

I urged environmental writers to embrace truth rather than avoidance.

I will happily support your efforts. But this topic is just way too abstract for my debating skills to handle. Chemicals are simple and in my opinion their behavior is undeniable. Yet for some reason I have an extremely difficult time explaining physics 101 to some very influential lawyers and businessmen that are friends of the family. Many of them have no conflict of interest, other than political ideology, yet they refuse to listen and will openly ridicule me. If I can’t get them to agree on the production costs of corn ethanol then how the hell am I going to handle something far more abstract?

I support your efforts. But I stay out of that debate because it is beyond my skillset. I wish you the best of luck and you are a better man than I.
