I agree completely. What's the point, except to - possibly - harm a 
great fruit-growing list? I'm a layman, so I can't judge the scientific 
validity of these arguments, anyway. I must simply expect that the 
majority of climatologists know a LOT more about it than I do. They 
might indeed be wrong, but they're much more likely to be correct in 
their areas of specialty than my gut feelings.

We all have opinions, and I certainly don't mind people stating a 
position. To some extent, I do, myself, in my random "fortune cookie" 
signatures. BUT I don't see any value at all in debating off-topic 
subjects here. It might cause a great deal of harm, and I can't imagine 
that it would do any good.
