    Iconcoclast NOT

    1) I have not claimed that mankind has NOT contributed to the CO2.

    2) My point all along has been that a) CO2, by all evidence, is a minor player in any greenhouse effect. b) The increase by whatever degree one assigns to it is not attributable solely to human activity. Indeed, other factors play a role that is ESTIMATED by the scientists i presented to be 300 times more important. (NOTE: THESE ARE SCIENTIFIC ESTIMATES, NOT GOSPEL TRUTHS!)

    3) Not agreeing with you is NOT equivalent to lying, you pusillanimous jerk!

    4) You need the book about learning to play nice in kindergarten before you are let out of your room again.
