Yes, lots of ignorant people make that claim. Here's winger Congressman Bartlett MDPhD trying to explain it to one of SoCal's dimmer bulbs. If Dana is as dim as some here, the lesson was bound for failure. "Rep. Roscoe G. Bartlett, a Republican from Maryland and a former scientist, took the opportunity later to teach Mr. Rohrabacher some basic atmospheric chemistry with an analogy. If you have 1,000-pound weights on each side of a seesaw and add 1,000 pounds to one side, it's going to go down, he said. If you have 1,000-pound weights on each side of a seesaw and add 100 pounds to one side, it's still going to go down. The point Mr. Bartlett was making is that the natural carbon cycle was basically balanced before people started to add billions of tons of greenhouse gases to the atmosphere." chronicle.com
