You've drifted off-topic, Ed. We're not talking about the GW theory 
in general. We're talking about the claim that "CFCs with lifetimes 
of decades and longer become well-mixed in the atmosphere, percolate 
into the stratosphere, and there release chlorine."

In fact, I hadn't realised we were dealing with CFCs. Is this even 
relevant to global warming? I still don't even know what article 
we're talking about. Anyway, my point here is we're talking about a 
single claim, not entire theories. Even if theories are disputed, 
single claims relevant to them need not be.
