"I made my point. GW has been disproved." But it hasn't been. There is never 100% consensus, especially in the scientific community. Take AIDS for example. There were a lot who were dubious that it was caused by a virus for a very long time. There was one researcher who claimed the depressed immune system was because of semen in the rectum. He ran many experiments where he put semen in the rectums of white mice and measured an impairment of their immune system. His views didn't prevail. "It is just like your stupid-assed claim that salting the streets in Seattle would cause some kind of environmental disaster in Puget Sound." Well, I never made the claim. So if anyone is being a stupid-ass, it'd be you. "Anyone who has any common sense can see that Global Warming isn't happening and even if it were it isn't manmade." Again proving the old bromide that there isn't anything common about sense. I've run the numbers and posted them. The amount of CO2 due to burning of coal alone is a substantial fraction of the total atmospheric CO2 concentration in a given year's time. To claim that cannot have an effect is, well, ignorant at best.
