Okay! Steven.
Then advise on what the most important 10 environmental issues are of this

I suspect that US Environmental Policy would rank in the top 3, right?
Perhaps biodiversity as it relates to marine environments. I seem to recall
that this was very important.
Maybe we can make some progress on these other issues rather than simply
debate on something we disagree on.
bye bye
