Check the New User Guide.

I have had problems, even within the FAQ description, in the past, but this time I had left out the 'youtube' and should have gone back to the FAQ. Thus, mea culpa and thanks (as well for editing the diary).

Maybe there should be a pointer to the New User Guide in the FAQ? If you don't post a video soon after you join, you don't think of looking in the New User Guide right away. I had the same problem, and this question shows up often enough to suggest other people do as well.

FAQ, Point 2: "I'm new. Is there a New User Guide?"

However, maybe the FAQ and the NUG should be merged.

But if you've been around for a while, and haven't yet posted a video, the first part doesn't apply. I did finally figure it out, probably on the lines of "If I had wanted to post a movie soon after joining, I would have looked in the New User Guide" and then did so, but, other people seem to be either even slower than me or quicker to give up and ask.

Your suggestion makes some sense, but there are things than belong in the NUG (how to open an account, the idea behind ET etc.). It would probably be easier to simply add an FAQ "How do I embed a movie etc? Answer: See the New User Guide". On no account should both contain detailed instructions, or synchronizing them might be a problem.

Also, adding a list of common macros along with the allowed HTML that shows up when one posts a comment... If at all possible with Scoop, of course.

For a starter, how do we bring down the acceleration of CO2 concentration increase rate?

Emission caps with a well-defined schedule of year-on-year reductions?

Absolutely ...

Obviously, with 2 ppm (or so) of annual growth, the idea of 350 ppm is absurd without a change in pollution patterns.

To start to make a 180 degree turn, unless one is an amazing stunt person, the most sensible first step is to start slowing down.

Energy Efficiency, Energy Conservation, Renewable Energy, ...

The Three Rs:  Reduce use; Renewable Power; Remediate for polluting use. And, we're going to have to be doing a lot of remediation for past pollution.
