Climate lesson learned - almost
Why quibble over 400,000 as opposed to 650,000 years when learned people can quote not one million years but 25 million years ago

Don't miss out on the headlines from Opinion. Followed categories will be added to My News.
IN ANSWER to Ken Alderton (QT 29/01) on whether I have learned my lesson, I have.
The lesson was "don't cut and paste from dodgy websites".
Please just allow me to do it once more. The website is https://climate and the researcher is Dr Charles Miller who is a researcher specialising in the remote sensing of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases as well as the principal investigator of the carbon in arctic reservoirs vulnerability experiment mission.
Sounds pretty dodgy to me.
Now his quote is current (atmospheric) carbon dioxide values are more than 100 parts a million higher than at any time in the past one million years (and maybe higher than any time in the past 25 million years).
Why quibble over 400,000 as opposed to 650,000 years when learned people can quote not one million years but 25 million years ago.
Incredible - remember, "don't cut and paste from dodgy websites".
