No, it’s just a crazy Russian. Remember, it was some crazy Russian “scientist” who recently claimed that the Tunguska blast of 1908 was caused by a UFO crashing into an asteroid in a suicide sacrifice to save the earth.

"Warming alarmists have often bemoaned air travel saying it increases the threat of global warming"

But they only want to take air travel away from us commoners.

The Elitists will not give up their private jets.

My dog is constipated and I am convinced that reverse global warming is the cause.

I always expect these stories to be satire, but they never are.

Global warming is a misnomer in this period of cooling temperatures. It is more accurate to call it:

Catastrophic
Anthropogenic
Climactic
Alteration

Sorry; thought I was responding to another post in a related Air France crash thread.

Yes, I saw this article somewhere; thought it was here on Free Republic. Some crazy Russian really did come out with this theory. Couldn’t find the link in a search, though.

In a sense the title is correct. Without global warming human society would not have evolved technologically enough to build such aircraft!
