Re: Burt Rutan - Is Climate Change caused by Mankind?

Sorry about the hastiness, then. I'm just used to seeing "John Smith, exeprt apple farmer with a BA in political science, discusses global warming" and I put on my Skeptic Cap. Slide 15 seems a little misleading, (is that all of the greenhouse gases in the entire atmosphere? is the red dot all of the CO2 that has been or ever will be produced by humans? do all greenhouse gases have equal effect on the environment? what abuot methane?)

Is the data on Slide 17 precise enough to work with? I see long, straight lines. I was under the impression that precision was only available over the past 600,000 years or so.

I "know" Slide 21 is an accurate graph, but the data sample may be too small...

Slide 25. A good example of graph fraud. The most "famous" example of the ice core graph (The scissor lift in An Inconvenient Truth) featured no scale change, though...

Other than that, it's a very interesting report and I'm probably being over analytical...
