Perhaps that is what Ed is doing, but it doesn't sound like it to me. The particular statement that he's discussing is an example where, as originally written, _Wikipedia_ was itself making a claim that is significiantly too strong for us.
Its not. Really. That's what CFCs do. Honestly. Everyone knows this. It is a fact. You can look it up in any reputable encyclopedia.
That's one possible sign yes, but of course that is NOT what is going on here. There are peer-reviewed articles.
Denying that turbulent mixing occurs in the atmosphere? That CFCs reach the stratosphere? Its not a theory. Its not a model prediction. You can detect them there, with balloon-borne gas chromatographs.
I'm all for scepticism, but in this area Ed too often cannot distinguish between NPOV and Ed'sPOV
