Oh Platt, my original question was only asking who were these 'plenty of experts'? There is no suggestion of bias implied in that question. I know very little about global warming except that it seems to be happening. Blaming bovine flatulence was a red herring you brought into the conversation, not me. While not plenty, thanks for providing the names of two experts.
