"scare tactics over Global Warming fit this category. Next - by many it is embraced as gospel - is it willful ignorance?"
Is it maybe real? Hot water happenin' with no sunspots? It's been over 100 years, and nobody has been able to disprove Arrhenius...
In its original form, Arrhenius' greenhouse law reads as follows:
if the quantity of carbonic acid increases in geometric progression, the augmentation of the temperature will increase nearly in arithmetic progression.
This simplified expression is still used today:
?F = a ln(C/C0)
