A pointless article i.e the article has no point. It seems mainly sensationalist to me.

This is a short superficial article describing a Russian scientist's contrarian theory on global warming and comments "debunking" it by US scientists. While the comments sound like there is probably some meat buried in there, even a non-expert like me deserves more rigor.

The story is brief and dry, but the issue is important. Any two scientists measuring the number of E. coli angels that fit on the point of a needle covered with a 2 mm film of Armour Star Lard will likely disagree within a 5% error reading. So it goes with the now popularly correct notion that excess CO2 in the atmosphere is responsible for the warming of our planet. Disagreement is at the base of science until something or another is proven and this bland article gives an alternate hypothesis which is worthy of note, if only that. Who knows? All of global warming theory is correlation.
