I'll continue to recommend the B.S.in Mechanical Engineering,then see if you change your song.
I thank those who've lost their carbon-vision and and have seen a different paradigm for the taking.
The only blindness I see now is from carbon scales covering people's eyes.
You'd make an excellent attack dog,or shill for the fossil-fuel lobby.
Did you read MacKay or Murphy? To name just a couple more. You might respect their degrees in Physics better?

And went back to school only to get a doctorate in environmental science from a custom program at U of Vermont, and was lead editor at The Oil Drum for years and has since dedicated his life to trying to help us understand all of this. So what does he know.
