Global Warming Zealots Become Even More Hysterical

If we don't stop pumping that nasty CO2 into the atmosphere, we're all doomed:

A timetable to fit power stations with carbon dioxide capturing technology should be agreed by next year to avoid "dangerous and irreversible" climate change, some of the world's leading scientists will say today.
Britain's Royal Society has joined with science academies from other industrialised nations and five further countries, including China and India, to issue the warning in documents that will set the agenda for climate discussions at the G8 summit in Japan next month.
In a joint statement, the scientists lament the slow progress being made in cutting greenhouse gas emissions, and call on industrialised countries to step up their efforts by developing greener housing and transport. They urge the G8 countries to commit themselves to a timetable of power station upgrades designed to capture CO2 before it is released into the atmosphere
.

The only 'leading scientist' they mention by name is the magnificent Martin Rees

Martin Rees, president of the Royal Society, said climate change and the rising world population threatened to aggravate the food and water shortages that were already a "dangerous reality" in many developing countries.

Even if they admit to themselves that they are wrong (unlikely), people like Rees can't afford to give up their faith in global warming. Their careers are too highly invested in it.

Those ominous 387 parts per million that CO2 comprises of the earth's atmosphere constitute a mere 0.0387% of the total atmosphere, as compared with 78.08% nitrogen, 20.95% oxygen, and 0.93% argon. There is no laboratory evidence that carbon dioxide has any special radiation-capturing abilities.
