    What I put into the New Scientist survey

    Published: 11:03 AM GMT, Monday, 16 March 2009

    I would like to see some proper reporting of the carbon phobia debate.

    I would like to see some reporting of the Japanese contention that "climate change" is on a par with astrology. http://www.theregister.co.uk/2009/02/25/jstor_climate_report_translation/

    Also it changed its name from global warming (which couldn't be proved) to climate change - that's the inconvenient truth - I want science not religion from scientific publications.

    I don't want to see the bogus "hockey stick" curve on the cover of your reputable magazine ever again, I was going to renew my sub after a long time without reading it regularly except certain editions bought from the news stand and decided not to. It was ill-advised and totally innumerate.

    Humans add about 10% to the global amount of CO2 in the atmosphere. It's reported like we make *all* of it. Some sense of proportion would be useful. It makes all of your other reporting suspect.

    I honestly don't know what the real issues with CO2 are - but you aren't helping me find out, are you?

    Bootnote

    I did some digging on the web and discovered that we actually contribute less than 5% of the annual CO2 production. There are other greeenhouse gases that are produced in much bigger proportions by humans, but we need some properly funded, peer-reviewed research with evidence. No more anti-technology, screw-the-poor-we-can't-do-anything dystopian nonsense.
