It seems that the more there is a safe space to speak the more Gaia indicates how in modern culture we cut ourselves off from nonlinear group intelligence by separating ourselves with personal clothing, personal beds, personal houses, personal bank accounts and so on. The separation weakens the community field to the point of subservience to modern culture marketers. We buy things to compensate for being cut off, and use TV as false community. In next culture we need the nonlinear group intelligence back, so how to reconnect and strengthen the village field?

Dear Sailsbystars, Thanks for helping me with this. I am definitely a newbe, and to compound things I am on the road. I will get proof up there ASAP. Meanwhile, I could not figure out how to delete the misspelled file. The one that needs to be deleted is the one that is not connected to, actually the one you cited above, because the first word is misspelled as "Atmoshpheric." Could you help me delete that one? But LEAVE the other file which is Atmospheric_CO2_CH4_Degrees_Centigrade_by_Reg_Morrison.gif Then I will get some proof posted. Thanks. Clinton

Actually your misspelling would have been easier to correct if you hadn't uploaded to new file. Wikipedia actually lets you move files and pages from one name to another. :) However, it's still easy to fix. Just go to the misspelled image and click "edit" and add {{Db-self}} to the top and a friendly admin will come along to delete the misspelled version "shortly" (usually a few hours).

Regarding the licensing, you need to provide proof the Original Image was created under the creative commons license. I couldn't find any evidence for that when I looked... but I'm also not sure the source you list is truly the original source for the image. Sailsbystars (talk) 16:16, 22 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Okay, thanks, you've fixed the licensing issue! Your caption in the article is problematic though. The methane clathrate hypothesis is pretty speculative. Sailsbystars (talk) 16:31, 22 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Jeez, you are on it! Cool. Thanks again for your collaboration. It helps. By "methane clathrate hypothesis" being speculative you mean that it was not a contributing factor in the "great dying" of the end-Permian? How much have you been studying this? Methane is specifically named even at this wiki page: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mass_extinction. And I could give you many additional analysis. What I am more concerned about is your defense of the 550ppm as "scientific consensus". I mean, are you getting paid to defend this statement? Or are you merely missing a solid reference to some other number. Because the current reference to 550ppm is really weak, really just one guy's opinion in the intro to the paper. Are you open to talking about this? Because there are people out there who try to rely on Wikipedia's information being accurate, and 550ppm CO2 is a very old idea. I mean, I remember at the university where I studied physics the professors told us not to worry because we had 200 years of coal to burn even if the oil eventually did run out. Boy were they wrong. So let me know, okay? Thanks. Clinton
