The comments are generally a travesty. Once in a while a scientist involved in the particular issue posts and that is of value. The rest is mostly crap. The vote for posts is particularly galling.<br /><br />If it's any consolation, I returned to Dot Earth and waded through the gibberish to your post and voted for it. Unfortunately Mac is still leading you 4 to 2 but wmar is way in the lead.<br /><br />PaulPaulhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13742905742181959851noreply@blogger.com
