"He said data shows that concerns about global warming are false. "CO2
is plant food, not a pollutant," he said. "It's been 20 times as high
as it now. If you have a 1.2 percent increase in cloud formation and
precipitation, it offsets a 100 percent increase of CO2 in the
atmosphere."

Gosh, Burt Rutan is climate genius, too!


So which of his numbers is wrong?


Which of his numbers is relevant?

He knows more than the scientists. Impressive!


"Locus ab auctoritate est infirmissimus"


I would say the argument from cluelessness is weakest.

Rutan charged that climate scientists have it wrong, setting himself as a
superior authority. Is he?
