[flushed] [original news groups restored]

I'm not going to wade through the badly formatted followup which also
fails to have correct headers for the character set in use. Instead,
after restoring the original news group, I will only comment that NO ONE
IS DENYING THAT THE EARTH HAS WARMED!!!

Got it?

What is at issue is the claim that the warming is due to CO2. If CO2 is
the culprit, you have to explain how CO2 levels can increase while NASA
notices that the oceans have cooled to a depth of more than half a mile.
You have to explain how CO2 -- which is a minority greenhouse gas -- can
control other greenhouse gases such as water vapor (which makes up 95%
of the greenhouse gases).

An alternative hypothesis chosen both by astrophysicists and by
dissenting climatologists is that variations in the solar output have a
strong influence which has been ignored by the "blame mankind" crowd.
That's right: That big yellow thing in the sky is important, and you're
ignoring it! Mars is warming too, and the simplest explanation is that
both Earth and Mars are warming due to increased solar irradiance.

It's a nice, simple explanation which may account for events on two
planets and one of Saturn's moons.

Occam's razor applies.

In the meantime, Doug Bashford can consider himself plonked. I do not
respond to cut-and-paste, crossposting trolls.
