Yes Winged Wheeler, I saw that is what you said. My disregard for your use of the word perspective was only in the interest of preventing its abuse. Putting things in "perspective" is often used by those wishing to create an illusion of cold objectivity. When in fact, the word's use is quite subjective....especially in a topic such as this. i.e. In human vs animals as a source of CO2; How much of the animal side is animal agriculture and domesticated livestock? That would be a human source. Also, CO2 isn't the only greenhouse gas.

As for facts without editorializing; Anyone can state facts. However, the selective stating of facts doesn't mean that you're immune from editorializing.

Just keeping the "S/N ratio" down from my <ahem> "perspective"
