This explains everything. "Dog bites man". Science is all about skepticism. Except when it comes to Global Warming. Then the science is settled. Remember? When it comes go Global Warming, a skeptic is branded a "denier" hater of the planet and a "Nazi" Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

CO2 levels in the historical record were dozens to hundreds (or more) times the levels of today and there was no climategeddon. Hey, let's count this as progress in the discussion.

I guess it *is* progress that you're listening.Mike I love you, Shannon and Jim. POPS 9708 , SCR 14706 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
