"Madam President, a mystique bordering on a religious creed has grown up around this alleged global warming. The environmental scientist has had a field day, but the natural world obeys the laws of physics and chemistry, subjects which I taught for 39 years. The global warming theory has cast CO a natural constituent of the atmosphere, as a demon gas. It does have the effect – slightly – of trapping heat around the world, but how? You need to draw a graph showing how CO perhaps causes warming. Is it an arithmetic graph – I must become technical – where equal rises in CO cause equal rises in warming? Is it an exponential graph – a runaway – where CO in extra amounts causes an ever-increasing rise in global warming? Or is it a logarithmic graph, where extra amounts of CO cause less and less extra warming, eventually becoming a flat line? I suspected it to be the last, and the Hadley Centre, the UK’s leading authority on this subject, confirmed that it is the last graph. We are nearly on the flat line, if not already there. Extra CO will have no more effect. There is no problem."@en1
