[ RadSafe ] Re: The Great Global Warming Swindle Swindle

         If we are to believe the Independent it looks like someone is 
playing fast and loose with the truth.  (Did anyone note the pro forma use 
of the pejorative "right-wing" Washington think-tank to describe the George 
C Marshall Institute?)  I have no views either way on the GCM Institute.

         Pollution blocking the sun -- well it's only a hypothesis.  How 
much pollution is produced by volcanoes and forest fires as compared to 
that of humans?  We humans could well be more puny than we like to think we 
are.
