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.
