    I do something similar.

    Stop adding stuff to bacon. It lowers the bacon to whatever you adding to it.

    Landfill needs to be done on a federal level. Local counties and city's have failed.

    You are so attached to your provably(and proven) wrong belief that you don't even read the abstract before spew you emotional based nonsense and polluting the comments.

    Nothing in the study refute the fact that excess greenhouse gasses are trapping energy.

    Unless you are ready to overturn 100+ years of science the proves greenhouse gasses trap energy?

    anthropomorphic global warming (AGW) is a fact.

    4) Green house gasses, such as CO2, absorb energy(heat) from IR. Testable? Yes. Tested? Yes. Could anyone devise a test? Yes
    5) Humans produce more CO2(and other green house gasses) then can be absorbed through the cycle. Testable? Yes. Tested? Yes. Could anyone devise a test? Yes

    Each one of those has been tested, a lot. You notice deniers don't actual address the facts of AGW? Don't have a test that shows those facts to be false?
