I hear you Mr. Clayton. Certainly, how bad the effects of stress will be is a legit area of debate. But models (interpretations of interpretations) are just part of the puzzle, and I think a relatively small part. Our paleoclimatic history as well as current observations provide more compelling evidence that More

Funny, both parties are fighting the same battle against themselves.
