Mac Facts and theories are where you seem to get confused....Climate change is not settled science, not even close. |

Now NP’s at the pipe. People who know nothing about science, but are suspicious of evreryone but Trump, can post some real nonsense.
Just a few facts to go in one ear and out the other. The science about the greenhouse effect goes back to 1896 and Arrhenious. I knew about it in graduate school in the 1980’s. I guess those who paid no attention in science classes, and think Trump is honest, think cartoons like this are clever.

Hea vientomas, just what exactly are you trying to say with that list?
You're not suggesting that somebody else deserves to be on that list also are you?
But hea, thanks for the time you spent, very impressive. |
