Hi Platt, I'm not threatened by multiple point-of-view. It sounds like we agree that it is probable that some of the actions of humans, all over the world, might be contributing to global warming. I suppose who gets blamed isn't as important as what gets done to attempt a remission and eventual reversal of this trend. Thanks for the additional names.
