  2. RodB liked Nathan-D's post in the thread Could recent global warming be explained by changes in solar variation?.

    I think so yep. The IPCC even say that water vapour is "not a forcing" but a "feedback" to changes in temperature. Take that as you will.

    That says the higher water vapor concentration was caused by higher temperatures, not the other way around.

  7. RodB liked Jack Hays's post in the thread Another Loss for "Consensus Science".

    It seems that CFC's may have have been falsely convicted of ozone depletion. I hope everyone will follow the science. Hasty conclusions seem to be the origin of the mistake;...

    Your premise is correct. But a jury of his peers (whatever that is) will decide whatever they choose.

  34. RodB replied to the thread US supreme court to decide on Trump’s claim of presidential immunity.

    That is not my assertion in the least. Trump did absolutely nothing illegal, but that does not preclude a jury or judge finding him guilty anyway.

    The rest of the facts are, Trump did nothing illegal.
