But why do you link to a crank science site in every sig? How do you expect anyone to take you seriously?
Am I asking an old question here or does this guy troll for this sort of nonsense every time he posts?
I quit posting much of anything that challenges
conventional wisdom cause of this attitude. History of technology is full of these kind of attitudes. I'll let time
solve this issue. Or not.
"http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=air+conditioning+
refrigerants&btnG=Google+Search">Google
So what's the difference between this link on this issue and other over more controversial issue's ?
Don't answer, it's a rhetorical question.
To TOD Staff: Thank you for a personally
valuable site. I just hope it stays free. I will read it as much as I can. But I will keep my posting within limits of conventional thinking. I hope air conditioning
technology is conventional enough.
Where IS that 'Theory of Everything' ?
Here
it is !
