Don Barnes, in his letter [Sun May 10] critising Rogers Rabbit's article on climate change, is a classic example of arguing from a position of professed superiority. This is essentially dishonest. Furthermore, nowhere in Don Barnes' letter does he present any specific facts rebutting Roger's claims.
Perhaps Don Barnes failed to notice in his many folders on climate change, the page with information on the ability of specific atmospheric gases to absorb and re-emit specific wave-bands of electromagnetic radiation. Or the page relating to the short time since we have had temperature scales, and particularly the very short time since we had instruments that can measure temperatures to one tenth of a degree Celsius to an accuracy of five hundredths of a degree.
