In a Sept. 25 NewsMax column, Phil Brennan lashed out against the “mass hysteria over the alleged warming of the planet.” He threw a bunch of numbers out to try and back it up. For instance:
Those evil deniers however, have taken the trouble to look at the facts instead of the propaganda from the U.N. and the rest of the global warming fanatics. They point out that the the anthroprogenic sources of CO2 account for exactly 0.11 percent of Carbon Dioxide in the atmosphere. In other words, 99.89 percent of the greenhouse effect has not a damn thing to do SUVs, jet travel, backyard barbecues or any other human activity.
The folks at RealClimate have taken the trouble to look at the facts as well, and they pretty much debunk Brennan’s numbers. Don’t expect Brennan to report that, of course.
