    Are the photos you are posting showing the Earth’s curvature a statement to the CAGW crowd that you are NOT a Flat Earther?

    I think those who question catastrophic global warming (it can’t be just warming with them, must be the end of all life scenerio with boiling oceans) are considered Flat-Earthers, who claim man was not on the moon and other things.
