re: #986 Walter L. Newton

Have you paid attention to any of the science that has been posted here this afternoon, or are you just spouting off without any proof of you position. Because, up to this point, you seem to be ignoring any of the questions put to you.

If you haven’t noticed, we discuss an issue, it’s called dialog. We do that with comments, links, critical thinking skills, truth and very little hyperbole.

Try it.

Spare me, science guy. One volcanic eruption is capable of spewing far more pollutants and aerosols into the upper atmosphere than humans ever could. Since most evidence of global warming is based largely on anecdotal evidence, I will use some of my own. After Mt. Pinatubo erupted in the Phillipines, it altered the worldwide climate considerably (it got cooler) for many months to come. It was noticeable to me where I was living and we were treated to beautiful sunsets too. A similar phenomenon was reported to have happened after the eruption of Krakatoa due to all the matter ejected into the upper atmosphere.
In summary, our existence here is strictly one of chance. To think that we have “control” over the atmosphere is simply hubris.
