And if setting up a Mailman list to discuss the exact same content
would be as effective as a conference, then it would be anything but.
We can't know.

What we *do* know is that putting the word "sustainable" into a
proposal makes it a lot easier for people to get funding. Even more
so, further down, "Climate Change Mitigation". For better or for
worse, that's how a lot of the world allocates money.

By the way, thank you both for saying "CO2" and not "carbon". If I had
a black balloon for every time someone talked about how much carbon
was created in such-and-such, I could make my own global warming
advert...
