Tue, 25 Jul 2017 15:41:14 -0400 https://nowcomment.com/documents/78962?scroll_to=768060 https://nowcomment.com/documents/78962?scroll_to=768060 So I read this article and commented as thoughts occurred to me. I would like to come back to it later and really think about BHH with it. In my first reading, I was mindful of BHH but didn't really focus on it.

I think I was reading this hoping for "proof" and sort of feel disappointed that I do not have it yet.

The author is assuming that I know what this gas is. The author is also assuming that I have some understanding of what greenhouse gas is and what it means.

If they don't break down and eat this stuff, then how else will it decompose?

I have read other info about methane emissions being a huge environmental issue.

Wed, 05 Jul 2017 00:57:17 -0400 https://nowcomment.com/documents/78962?scroll_to=768050 https://nowcomment.com/documents/78962?scroll_to=768050 Already my thinking is challenged here because I do not think of bugs as HEROES! I am intrigued and want to know why the author is making this claim.

I am not very familiar with Minecraft at all, but I like the construction aspect because your brain can work at much higher levels.
