Actually Andrew and I have a history of debates that end when I cite references to support my claims and he refuses to provide any. You can consulte the list archives for examples.
I don't have time, nor the inclination to argue the truth of otherwise of the global warming / climate change myths. You can believe the myth, I will not, regardless of how many Wikipedia links you send or other links, which IN MY OPINION ... usually offer false analysis [other opinions] of the real facts. Wikipedia can be as biased in political position as any other media type. Otherwise, Wikipedia can be an excellent source of information -- but you can never just rely on Wikipedia and/or it's "supporting" links that help the bias of opinion (in most cases, it is opinion, rather than fact -- or rather the interpretation of those facts, which ultimately comes back to opinion). Enough said. Cheers A.
