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.

--> No. You called for William Connolley's edits to be reverted. And
you called for the idea that CFCs deplete the ozone layer to be
considered controversial.
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.
