Warning fatique

Fearmongers at the ABC and the Age don't seem to realise that not only are we not convinced global warning is happening but the lack of " what should we do if it is" puts enormous brakes on any progress in the debate .If it is happening the media are doing a very poor job of convinving us not only about that, but about what we should do to change it - especially when they get as fanatical as they are about it at the ,moment . They insist , like they did over the ozone layer, that its carbon dioxode emmisions when incident radiation hitting the earth has to do much much more heating of the air than any excitement created in the atmosphere by a few more sparsely located co2 molecules. land calearing is much more likley to influence the weather than c02 which is rapidly recycled into plants all around the world keeping co2 levels at very low levels - despite our burning of foosil fuels .
Nothing is more stupid in this whole debate that the ignorant capture of the idea of the grenhouse effect by the non scientific fearmongers. The focus of the greenhouse effect is clearly not on rising temperatures in the greenhouse (that happens without C02 rise and for different reasons ) but on the opportunity that a closed room has for increasing the level of co2 slightly, triggering the photosyenthetic effect of increased growth rates in plants . Plants at least aren't worried such perhaps we should talk to them more - we cerainly are listeneing to the ABC and the Age less and less.



Its almost like the media are making the same superficail mistake they made with ozone . We are naughty boys by burning foisil fuels therfore the gods will judge us. There must be consequences for our carelessness. Possibly yes but not by focusing on items in new scienetist that appeal to the latest doodsdayers news hunters .

Why are the media so intent on throwing this stuff at us > i mean the reporrt of A UN conferenece made headline news last night and the dill reported a 90% chance of being unequivocal (or something equallly laughable).The UN report covers its own betting by listsing a whoile raft of factors other than just carbon so just quietly don't bank on anyone banking on a thin and emphemiral and quickly recycled element like CO2 being the culprit . The ABC reporters are getting so desperate that they use the word deniers to anybody who doesn't agree with them or the Un (must be most of us)The ABc sound more like church every day on some subjects.
