Re: You’re missing the point, Ryan Price [Times, May 3].
Again Ryan Price refuses to answer my question: Explain why adding CO2 to the atmosphere does not cause Earth to retain more energy from the Sun.
Because that is the crux of the matter. We have increased the level of CO2 by 50 per cent and his argument is we have not caused global warming.
Here are the simple facts: 1, satellite measurements show adding CO2 has reduced cooling. 2, atmospheric physics explains why. 3, experts agree on the science and warn us unless we reduce GHG emissions now, we risk reaching tipping points – when the warming becomes unstoppable.
Expert answers to Ryan Price’s evidence-free assertions may be found here skepticalscience.com/about.shtml.
You won’t change his mind. You cannot reason someone out of a belief he has not reasoned himself into.
