You failed to respond to my offered data or any of my previous questions about your understanding of Global Warming, and now you take my offer to assist you as an insult. I take this as evidence (not proof) that your ignorance _is_ willful. You have an opportunity to demonstrate otherwise, by responding to my previous message with the CO2 and other data and the questions.

Curious. I converse with people far more obnoxious than you or I. One of my best friends (O irony) is a Holocaust Denier and much worse. Certainly they don't always enjoy it, but we have made some progress, and they are usually willing to continue. > The irony here is that I'm not a climate change skeptic.

Nature doesn't care what we wish to be true. We have to deal with what _is_ true. A man said to the Universe, "Sir, I exist!" "However," the Universe replied, "That fact has not created in me A sense of obligation." --Stephen Crane A traveler, perceiving the pathway to truth, Was struck with astonishment. It was thickly grown with weeds. "I see," he said, "that nobody has passed here In a long time." Later, he perceived that each blade Was a singular knife. "Well," he mumbled at last, "Doubtless there are other ways." --also Stephen Crane >not at all the actual position that happens to be underneath > it in this particular instance. > > For what it's worth, I'm still interested to learn more.

When I respect people, I tell them the unvarnished truth. I thought you were willing to face facts, pleasant or not. Your quarrel is with the facts, not with me. > -=Steve=- > > -- > Stephen H.
