pdq,

- Thank you for making my first point for me (so GWB never signed, is that good in your books? Does that show concern?)
- Thank you for causing a smile with your answer to the second point
- Thank you for the seriousness of your answer to my third point - but carry it through: 10cm in 50 years means how much landmass lost to your grandchildren?
- Thank you for the petulance of your answer to my fourth point (dim the Sun, indeed!)
- Thank you for the irrelevance of your answer to my sixth point

As for the political leanings of Mudcatters, I take unsupported statements such as "most Mudcatters are Democrats" with a pinch of salt. There are all sorts of shades of politics out there. The fact is that you don't know squat, you go by the couple of dozen regular combatants in the Mudcat's political threads, ignoring the silent majority or making assumptions about them (how nice of you).

And you repeated your name-calling of me. That must have been the clincher in your argument, I assume, hence the repetition.
