>>Even if you don't believe CO2 is contributing to global warming
I did not say that. I do not know if CO2 is contributing materially to global warming. But neither do those who delude themselves with complex models that project the rise in temperature. There are too many variables and unknown interrelationships that are not understood to make the model work.
I think you and I would agree about more than we disagree on environmental issues. I have watched the decline of coral formations in the Caymans and find it distressing - fishing levels need management for the health of the ocean ecosystem. I do not support dumping trash in the oceans.
I will accept the private admonition of a friend and discontinue my comments to this thread - difficult as that is given my interest in intelligent debate.
