Really, is this the best you can do?

"As for climate change, it requires colossal stupidity to ignore evidence it is already happening and the burning of fossil fuels has something to do with it. There's nothing as reliable as a DNA test to prove that emissions alone are causing climate change, but we do know they foul the air because on smoggy days we can look out the window and see it."

As colossally stupid as ignoring the fact that the troposphere isn't warming, but cooling, even though the global warming models say it should be warming? As stupid as ignoring the fact that evidence from past warming events captured in ice core samples indicate that rises in atmospheric CO2 levels actually have occurred AFTER warming has occurred, not before? Relying on computer models which even global warming proponents admit are imperfect at best is pretty stupid too.

Nice red herring. No sure evidence that human activity is to blame for any global warming, but it causes smog! So? Are we talking about ozone or global warming?

This is precisely the kind of scare mongering that many of us here on this thread rail against.

Poor colty, don't know the difference between an engineer or a scientist and a liberal art english major(maybe poli sci.) selling his propaganda.

I don't see any insight or analysis.

Obviously Robert Reno cannot cite any as there is none presented.

So colty you may wish to suck up and believe all the words of Mr. Reno, I on the other hand have read much and don't take much stock in the opinion of liberal arts majors when considering complex issues of any science. Except in the science of how many techno retards that there really are.
