Re: [Phys-l] Climate Change - Is it Controversial?

Hi David-
	You are falling into Carlson's trap by adopting his language. 
What we are digging up (or piping up) is fuel that releases CO2 into the

	Carlson's questions sound like he is a new earth creationist who 
lives in his own bible-based reality,
				Regards,
