His argument is very simple- if you wear sunscreen you must believe in human caused global warming. Silly me- I thought it was because I believed in the link between exposure to ultra-violet radiation and risk of developing skin cancer.
The reason for this stupid line of thinking is that the guy who first discovered that CO2 can act as a kind of thermal blanket in the atmosphere also discovered that certain chemicals can absorb UV radiation by the same kind of process.
It's great to think that our global economy is being
If you are still worried about CO2 and the non-existent warming, consider these gems from "Heaven and Earth" by Ian Plimer:
* termites produce far more greenhouse gases than all the human outputs combined.
* the CO2 in the air is a tiny amount of that dissolved in the oceans and the amount "sequestered" in rocks is many billions of times more- all of these sinks for CO2 are in a dynamic equilibrium.
We have more to fear from the influence of "climate scientists" than we do from the effect of CO2 in the air.
