    The reason for the limited number of scientists predicting cooling was because there was a slight possibility of a runaway reaction which might lead to an increase in reflectivity of the atmosphere which would have overcome the greenhouse effect of CO2. Just because ignorant talking heads don't understand it doesn't make it stupid.

    7 studies made the suggestion. 40 showed increased warming. Laymen saying it means nothing.

    DEF fumes? Please. I'm on your side for the most part, but the DEF breaks down as soon as it hits the hot exhaust gas.

    IIRC, the soot is cooked to ash, which falls to the bottom of the system, and must be periodically removed. You're spot on, otherwise.
    Wells have always been fracked. What changed was horizontal drilling, which meant a huge increase in the footage of the bore that was fracked. In the 80s & 90s, before the oil boom, the thickness of the formation dictated how much of the vertical hole was fracked. Now, bore runs horizontally threw the formation, and all that footage is fracked.
