longnshort,

When I first read that, (which was long before you posted it), I thought, "maybe that guy has a point and they are as wrong about this as they were about global cooling", but then I thought about the gazillion tons of CO2 that we are putting into the atmosphere.

All that CO2 has to have SOME effect, but this guy says it doesn't matter at all. If that guy had said the CO2 had only a "small or minor" effect then I'd be much more likely to give his view more credence. I get the feeling that man made chemicals CAN have an effect on the atmosphere, since we stopped the use of the stuff in air conditioners because it seemed to be eating up the ozone layer, so it bothers me to hear a guy just "blow off" the idea that gazillions of tonnes of CO2 is meaningless.

After 9/11, when ALL air travel was eliminated over the U.S. for several days, meteorologists noticed some "striking" differences in temperature fluctuations in major cities all over the U.S. THIS was caused JUST by the absence of jet "vapor trails".

If just grounding jets for a few days can change things that much, then I would think the idea that all these tonnes of CO2 mean absolutely nothing is shortsighted and naive.

longnshort...PLEASE keep your reply to ONE sentence or less..
Your normal verbosity is overwhelming...
