Glad you found the article useful.

It could be her auntie with her husband & 2 kids, or her 25 close and distant relatives for all we know. whether intentional or not, this is disinformation.

It is important to provide complete and accurate information when throwing carbon numbers around. The field of climate science is the subject of consistent criticism and controversy because of careless presentation of data as has been done in this article.

If our ancestors traveled without planes and buses, then we can make the same journey from anywhere without them. It may sound ridiculous, but we cannot use religion as an excuse for lazy behavior.
