[Coral-List] La Nina and global warming

[Bill Allison]

If I read you correctly, it seems paradoxical to state that the GSL
position paper, "... pretty much says what I have been trying to say."
while asserting that the main conclusion of that paper, that
anthropogenic carbon dioxide is the main factor driving climate
change, is pretty much contrary to what you have been trying to say.
