Given factual data countering their positions gets more of the same... Or not answering at all. I know.. but it's good practice in being able to explain my POV and the documentation that has formulated it. The very fact that they are unable to find credible and logical counter-points to the arguments that I have presented means I'm that much closer to the truth.. And that is what the Scientific Method is all about. Hawk

Eric and rats answer to all is we are smarter than you so piss off. Given factual data countering their positions gets more of the same... Or not answering at all. I suspect it is really deflection from where they have or still make their money, in areas of real concern like the dumping of HFC-23, the waste product of producing HCFC-22 which is a refrigerant, or the illegal dumping of carcinogenic waste from some high tech manufacturer of solar panels, or the dumping of deadly waste from the production of some other high tech goods of real concern. How can rat and eric be concerned about a non issue like CO2, or iron fertilization of the oceans when there are far more pressing and real environmental concerns they never bring up or avoid all together? The only explanation I can come up with is they have financial reasons for doing so.

They don't seem to understand that when persuading people of something, using the argument "I am far superior to you so just believe me and don't annoy me with questions or countervailing argument" is not persuasive. On the contrary, it demonstrates a lack of intelligence on their part, which is ipso facto an argument AGAINST them since it shows they are not very bright at all.
