#1 I related most of this info before from the journal articles. Let me say again that there are a large number of atmospheric scientists who are employed by the government...who are skeptical of "man-caused" global warming...who are prohibited by law/policy from speaking out.

#2 Rachel Carson is the reason my father isn't rich... and why I exist. While playing chemistry professor at Wisconsin U at Madison, Daddy had discovered and patented a compound that made DDT equally effective at something like a 1/10th dose. It was in production one year when Ms. Carson's book came out-- and of course production was discontinued. So he moved to Buffalo, NY to take up oncology research, and was introduced to his future wife/my future mother that weekend. He still gets riled by the illogical, nonscientific thought that the authorities bought into. He gets riled about the cyclamate ban (on the US side of the border, up in Canada they banned saccharine using the exact same logic) for the same reason, poor man.

#5 Actually, the ice age started during the reign of Thor Clinton. You know him, the guy who's wife wore the tin hat with horns?
