sean,

thank you for the summary.

i'm wondering if you or others have numbers for the current best
undertanding of total climatic effects from human induced n2o
emissions vs co2.  and really ch4 too?  i have not researched the
volumes of each added from "industrial" sources, so can't use the
multipliers to get to useful approximations to remember.

or in other terms, what can we speculate are the percentage ghg
impacts of industrial agriculture vs industrial energy?

thanks,

jim
