...from the article Alice in Montana cited:


"If anyone is keeping a scorecard of the winners and losers in this case, without a doubt, the climatologists who have been trying to warn the general public and policymakers for years about the seriousness of global warming must feel vindicated. They are the big winners, as we all are. One can almost see Justice Stevens giving an approving nod to James Hansen, the director of NASA's Goddard Institute for Space Studies, when he begins the opinion:

A well-documented rise in global temperatures has coincided with a significant increase in the concentration of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. Respected scientists believe the two trends are related. For when carbon dioxide is released into the atmosphere, it acts like the ceiling of a greenhouse, trapping solar energy and retarding the escape of reflected heat. It is therefore a species—the most important species—of a 'greenhouse gas.'"


John Paul Stevens is an 89 year old senile lawyer who has no background in this subject. Lecturing the knowledegeable folks in the science community is as silly as truck driver lecturing judge Stevens about constitutional law.

BTW, CO2 is about 370 parts per million in the atmosphere and is therefore of little consequence compared to H2O, another "greenhouse gas".

So, BAN WATER Mr. Stevens, as long as you are being so silly. Or at least declare it "pollution" it and be consistent.
