I don't distrust him... I don't even know him. Why in the world are you making stuff up again? Haven't we been here before... you are accusing me of something I haven't done?
If you are referring to me questioning the theory of global warming or rising tides then that's entirely different. As a general rule I do not believe anything that is said to be so until I have had a chance and desire to look into the facts so that I can have an informed opinion. Some people believe stuff without doing any of their own research or checking of facts. So no... I don't have an opinion on that subject but, I feel confident that a rock that was painted yellow in 1841 is not a reliable datum for extracting sub mm measurements from 150 years later!
