Why is it necessary to point out that (1) just because something occurred in nature once doesn't mean it can't possibly be dangerous to people; and (2) just because something can increase or decrease naturally doesn’t mean it can’t be increased 10x as fast by people?
Why have you been you keeping it under your hat? You could have passed it on to climate scientists and saved the U.S. multimillions in pointless global warming research.
Well I guess we can ignore the entire corpus of modern science then. I wonder what we will replace it with? Rush’s dittohead consensus, perhaps?

I guess, if that's your understanding. My understanding is as far as cancer is concerned, we do not know equivocally that somethings are the EXACT cause of cancer.
Temperatures for Ice Ages and retreats haven't happened once, they have happened MULTIPLE times.
Thus this idea right now where pregnant women are told to not eat raw fish or fish during pregancy is explained away with, "Why take the chance?" since there is no single study done that states that eating fish leads to birth defects with children.
I'm not ignoring the entire corpus of modern science. It is within this realm and a few others that my own critical thinking has decided for me and my own lifestyle that the decision still rests within me to make choices.
Maybe you want to have dittohead's around so that you can be condescending towards someone. I however am firm in my statement that this works for me and me alone.
