Well, my hypothesis is

that in our region,

the loblolly pine affixes more

carbon dioxide yearly

than the red oak.

Great.

So you're trying to use

photosynthesis

To pull CO2 out of

the atmosphere.

- It's a great premise.

- Yeah.

Whichever species

uses the most CO2

could be planted as

forests in our region

to reverse the effects

of global warming.

This is something scientists are

talking a lot about right now.

However, from what I've

read about carbon sinks,

which is what you're

trying to create,

more forests can

actually raise temps.

I haven't been looking

at temperature change

because the trees

are too small.

What you're proposing is

extremely complicated.

I mean, there is

a lot of variables.

It's very tricky to model,

even for scientists,

especially with climate patterns

becoming so unpredictable.

Lauduree.

I-I thought your mom

was picking you up.

I forgot, she has

to work on thursdays.

Well, get into the car.

I'll take you home. Come on.

We can change the meeting night.

I can call your mom.

- I decided I'm not doing science

club this year. - Why?

I've spent too much time

with my tree data.

I'm not giving up now.

I mean, we're gonna learn a

lot about conservation issues.

I know you're interested in

that from your extra credit.

Neel's really smart.

I think you guys would

make a great team.

I don't work with partners.

Who wants a burger? Huh?

Greta, honey?

You coming back?

Hey, you've reached

my voicemail.

I'm waiting for your

secret message.

Well, here's my

secret message:

Ed and I are moving.

I'll send you a postcard.

Same time next week?

You like it in the ground.

I'd sleep out here

with you tonight,

but I can't risk a tick bite.

Can you believe

how good she looks?

Do you sell light bulbs?

Right there.

You want one?

Nah, it's okay.

Total is $19.72.

I think these have

expired, hon.

Hold on. Let me talk to

the manager a second.

Will you give me a ride?

Sure.

Hey! Ernesto! Hey!

Did you get any I.D.?

- Whoo!

- Hot damn!

That was like fate

that I was there!

Yeah, that was awesome.

Thanks for the ride.

Sure. I won't tell

your mom, but...

Is she here?

No.

Listen, honey,

they're not gonna

press charges, okay?

But the deal is, I need to speak

to a guardian.

What about your dad?

I don't have one.

All right, I guess you'd better get

started on your homework, then.

If your mom's not

back in an hour,

I'm gonna have to take you

down to the jail.

I need to file a report.

You got somebody

you wanna call?

No.

So why are these things so

expensive? They last longer?

Looks like you're in luck.

What happened?

- You Mrs. Cready?

- Yes.
