You do realize, don't you, Bill, that the warming is happening at a
pace that hasn't happened before?

How do we possible know that for a fact?

Ice borings.


And you also realize, that just
because there is a cyclic warming and cooling that is astronomy based,
doesn't mean that man hasn't had a profound influence on that warming,
don't you?


These statements of fact are based on theories, most with equally qualified
opposite points of view. They are yet to be proven as fact or fiction.

Which statements? Yes, we do, in fact know that there is cyclic warming
and cooling. And yes, it doesn't mean that man hasn't (or has for that
matter) had a profound influence on that warming. If there are equally
qualified opposite statements to the contrary, I'd like to see them!
I've not heard of one bit of compelling data that would make one come
to the conclusion that CFC's and other chemicals aren't having any
influence at all on ozone depletion, and hence global warming.

That's the problem, drawing conclusions based on so little data.

Smoking used to be considered good for you and was recommended to calm the
nerves.

I don't get the parallels there....but, when I smoked, it did seem to
calm my nerves. So perhaps there is data out there somewhere that shows
that!!
