He discusses how publications from NASA and used in schools are teaching our children to believe that CO2 is responsible for global warming. He goes on to explain the theory of radiative heating and absorption by gases and explains why heating by a trace gas,CO2 ,in the atmosphere is an illusion.

I believe Siddons is a physicist but could not find his credentials or bio listed.

He also has articlies at climaterealists.com. An interesting article there:

"Proof That Anthropogenic CO2 Is No Accumulating" is at

From the second link:

Quote:By current estimates, man is pumping about 4 ppm of CO2 into the air every year. But the atmospheric level is rising only 2 ppm every year. Theory has it, then, that half of human emissions are presently getting absorbed by so-called carbon sinks, thereby cutting the net emission in half every year.

Yet if half of human emissions stay in the air and the other half goes elsewhere, this proves that anthropogenic CO2 is not accumulating — the reason being that absorption is an ongoing process. A 50% reduction factor cannot be applicable only once. The next year would naturally see a further reduction. And so forth.

Yeah and that 50% reduction goes on every year,thus it makes sense for subsequent years to still have additional 50% reduction of those CO2 that survived the first year ,then the second year and so on.

The CO2 residence times are well established to be in the 5-15 year range based on 5 decades of "peer reviewed" published science papers.

Thus rapid accumulation is not possible at that meager 4 ppmv emission level.
