- I don't find that at all surpriing, since you're a sociologist with absolutely
- no demonstrated capability to understand anything about weather or climate.
- Now, the facts that:
- 1) The "rivers" described above are moving at about 90 degrees to the
- direction you're interested in;
- 2) They involve transport of water, which is much different,
- thermodynamically, than the transport of the aerosols you want to
- compare them to
- couldn't *POSSIBLY* be at all important, now could they, Claire.
-
- GODDAMNIT, Claire, if you're going to spend so much of your time on this issue,
- YOU OWE IT TO YOURSELF TO GET AT LEAST THE RUDIMENTS OF A DECENT UNDERGRAD
- EDUCATION IN THE FIELD.
