Thomas, it could very well be that I am confusing one for another.

Wolf, thanks for the link

Didn't know this...

As of April 2003, hybrid car buyers are eligible for a federal income tax deduction. In fact, you can benefit from the tax deduction even if you bought your hybrid in 2002.

In May 2002, an IRS press release declared gasoline/electric hybrids eligible for tax deductions as "clean fuel" vehicles under the Energy Policy Act of 1992 (PL 103-486). The amount of the deduction depends on the cost of running the vehicle on the electric system that supplements the gas engine. Once automakers have certified those costs, the IRS will set the deductions for each model, up to $2,000.

You can claim this deduction on line 32 of the Form 1040 federal tax return. If you've already bought a hybrid, you can file an amended return for the year you bought the car.

I don't think so. Reptiles are cold-blooded, so they should gain an advantage over mammals as a result of global warming. A colder than usual ice age would be a more likely explanation. Not sure whether such an ice age happened when the dinosaurs died out.

Many dinosaurs are now considered to have been warm blooded. The Therapods in particular were a lot more like birds than reptiles. Not that any of this changes the fact that an asteroid hit the Earth at the time of their demise or anything ...

A whole lot more than dinosaurs died out 65M years ago, and there is physical evidence (Iridium) in the clay layer of the KT boundary around the globe. The combination of evidence, along with ranges of species dieoffs make asteroid impact the most likely culprit, even though some dino's may have already been on the decline due to other changes.

carbon dioxide
20% carbon dioxide added to air would dilute the oxygen from 21% down to 16.8%. It would make people gasp for breath and breath deeply which would likely more than compensate for the lower percentage of oxygen. Healthy non-smokers would likely survive for months unless they paniced. Carbon dioxide is not deadly except in high concentrations. Neil
