To Editor,
I have thoroughly read through your article and overall it is okay, however there are a few inaccuracies. The anonymous Russian scientist’s theory is commendable, but I need more information, such as; how one event could cause the entire world’s temperature to rise, how there are no manmade factors taken into account, how can mixing up different layers of the atmosphere lead to global warming, could he be biased (as he is from Russia), could his facts be false (as they are secondary, and also, could the warming after the event just be a consequence of the industrial revolution? If you are going to take on such a bold and controversial title such as ‘Global warming is not caused by humans - The Great Global Hoax’ you could at least provide us with more information! Graham East from the Met Advice group’s argument for his theory on global warming is pathetic. His graph which is probably secondary shows that the carbon dioxide levels have risen since 1960. Why doesn’t this study start further back? To gain proper data on the earth you have to study for way longer than 50 years. 50 years in scientific terms is really just scratching the surface. To add to my disappointment, it does not explain how ‘the increase in carbon dioxide is the cause of global warming.’ He just explains that carbon dioxide levels are rising and then suddenly jumps to that conclusion! James Taylor says that ‘clouds of ice high in the atmosphere reflect sunlight. If there are fewer of these clouds then more heat from the sun gets through to the ground. The greenhouse effect then causes global warming.’ This short paragraph requires more information; what would cause there to be fewer clouds of ice? This is just expanding on the greenhouse theory, and the greenhouse theory uses carbon dioxide to trap heat in and the carbon dioxide is caused by humans. But this article is about how global warming is not caused by humans. On a contrary note, carbon dioxide can be released from melting...
