Nope, most people would give him a break on that minor slip up. Any carbon monoxide produced would just oxidize into carbon dioxide anyway.

No, any argument would be with the calculations and the sources of the figures.

If the "man made" global warming component is BS, lets see it. I think lots of people would rest easier.

It's unfortunate that the author of that piece makes a silly mistake like this.

Each to his own I suppose. Frankly, I wouldn't start off with: "I am an advocate and agree with Rush Limbaugh and other conservative thinkers..."

Rush Limbaugh as his first named "expert" in global warming? Typically, when people argue a position they start with their strongest expert first.

to continue ... "...that global warming is caused in great part by the sun and solar flares."

If you'll excuse the expression. No shit, Sherlock. Without the sun it would be pretty damn cold.

IMO, I think we keep our feet on the ground largely do to gravity.
