Craig, yes there are climate scientists. They study climate across a span of disciplines. One in my town at the university here shared a Nobel prize with other members of his professional team a couple years ago. His name is Steven Running if you'd like to check out his work. As for putting out wildfires, it turns out it doesn't help. What doesn't burn today grows to more fuel tomorrow. You and CB would do us a big favor if you'd explain how human activity does not effect climate. C oal production from the Powder River Basin exceeds 450 million tons over the last decade. Burning coal releases not just CO2 but other choice chemicals like mercury. Perhaps you have conclusive evidence that mercury is good for us.
