Yes, on GW theory -- as I stated.

No, not on the ozone depletion issue -- I never said they did.

Lindzen and Baliunas have repeatedly expressed their disagreement with environmentalists over the GW theory. I cannot recall Baliunas expressing ANY opinion on ozone depletion. Lindzen might have, but don't recall mentioning that in recent letters here -- let alone in a Wikipedia article.

That is incorrect. I did NOT call for WC's edits to be reverted. It's just the opposite: I promised not to enter into an edit war with him, and I'm leaving his edits AS THEY STAND. Fred Bauder called attention to the fact that I DID NOT revert WC's latest edit.

Please read more carefully.
