A) We know that's wrong. B) We know that the troposphere is getting warmer. (A) does nothing to disprove (B). Indeed, (B) is something *observed*, not a matter open to debate. (B) means that a lot of weather patterns will change and a lot of ice will melt. This doesn't mean Humanity will die off, but it will be very damn' expensive and inconvenient for a good many folks. I'll hate having to explain to my grandkids that everyone stood around debating whether it was happening instead of figuring out what impact it will have and how to solve some of the attendant problems. -- RLW
