The breaks at the Calvin 500 conference in Geneva last week featured bottled water with and without “gas,” as the Swiss say. By the end of the week, the volunteers serving refreshments were no longer bringing out the “gas” because the conferees, most of whom were from the States, preferred the still as opposed to the sparkling water. It struck me then that an inverse relationship exists between people who consume a lot of gas in their cars (and especially their SUV’s) but won’t tolerate it in their water, and those who don’t drive as much and prefer commotion in their water. (I myself like water that fizzes, just like soda, champagne, and beer.)
So maybe the key to ending global warming is to persuade Americans to drink more gas than they burn behind the wheel.

Speaking of gas, send me a note if you’re interested in locally grown organic vegetables. My wife and I have a micro-scale organic farm off Spring Rd in Philly. In season: French Gray Shallots, garlic, onions, tomatoes, fingerling potatoes, peppers, green beans and so on. Jeff
I love the fizz.
Hey Brother,
I am in California and I am interested in information to start my own organic micro farm. Could you provide me with info to that area.
Thanks
Jack
“So maybe the key to ending global warming is to persuade Americans to drink more gas than they burn behind the wheel.”
No. Then human burping would become a problem. Then the gases would rise, deplete the ozone, ice caps would melt, the libs would get shriller about our planet going to the eco-poop-tanks, the conservatives would get more annoyed and bark at them more to shut up, producing more hot air, thus affecting the temp of the planet, etc.
It’s just one big vicious circle.
