    Sigh.... You obviously didn't read the whole thread. I am more and more
    convinced that intelligent conversation is not possible on this (or any)
    mailing list.

    Spudboy was demanding authority from me. I was merely turning HIS
    requirement for authority back on himself to show his inconsistency of
    holding me to a higher standard than he held for himself.

    Again: I am not making any claim for or against global warming, nor did I
    discuss it at all, nor am I presenting any evidence of any kind, nor am I
    asking for evidence any kind. My only point was that the one article posted
    misrepresented the data it cited.
