(I wonder if he applies that logic to AGW ... ) That was me, and yes, I do apply it to AGW...because there's several orders of magnitude difference between what could possibly be emitted by airplanes as 'chemtrails' and humanities release of CO2, which amounts to roughly 29 gigatons a year: <http://www.skepticalscience.com/human-co2-smaller-than-natural-emissions.htm> And this doesn't count our emissions of much more potent greenhouse gases like methane and nitrous oxide. Moreover, the science behind AGW, no matter how you desperately try to spin, obsfucate and outright lie about it, is holding up to scrutiny. Your own pet skeptic came out and said that the climate scientists were indeed wrong...their estimates of the rates of warming is lower than what he found in the data. -- Bruce Johnson University of Arizona College of Pharmacy Information Technology Group Institutions do not have opinions, merely customs -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "StrataList-OT" group.
