otto, I thought the IPCC cited energy consumption (power plants, auto emissions, coal mining) as the single major source, followed by industrial processes, and then agricultural facilities (livestock), and last, land use and forestry.
Can you point me to an IPCC doc I havent seen?
Oh..and what huge defection of scientists?
Might you be referring to the
Heartland Institute (with funding from Exxon) which claims that 500 scientists have defected from the human-contributor (not human cause) camp?
Funny how
many of those scientists dont even know that the Heartland has included them on their list and have demanded that their names be removed.
