Phil,

I'm rather dissapointed that you think Barry's inspiration and the author of many bad scifi stories is a science expert. You and he should have learned in high school that science is about consensus. Scientific theories are no good unless they can pass muster against vigorous debate. The theory that a greenhouse gas can be added in unlimited quantities without warming an atmosphere is not a good theory because there is 0 data to support it.

Regards,
Mark
