Bzzzt. Again, someone does not know what "theory" means in science. We have
something called "atomic theory." Does that mean atoms are not factual?

It is a fact. It is as factual as atoms. It is as much a cornerstone of
biology as atoms are of chemistry.

The concept of acid rain is relatively simple compared to the computer
climate models and everything else being used to try and 'prove' global
warming theories. If anything just put acid rain into a computer model
and the same folks should be made to follow along.
Global warming theory is being used for a political agenda because it
allows for _control_ of the population, control of economies, central
control by self appointed elites. It allows them to micro manage
everyone's life for the good of the planet. Meanwhile they get to
continue living the way they want. Note how dr. parker screams about
putting too much CO2 into the air yet drives a mercedes benz. This
is rather typical. There'd be alot more credibility if drove an insight
or a metro.
Then there are all the environmental policies designed to constrain
developed western nations while allowing 'developing' nations to
make all the same mistakes that were made in the west. We know better
now. If it were about the environment the policies would not be
structured this way. Needless harm to the environment simply would
not be allowed.
