This article from the BBC made me smile as I have personally searched hundreds and hundreds of articles on global warming to keep myself informed. The author appears to be suggesting that it would have been better for the planet if I hadn't.
Are you surprised by the article? Whose figures do you trust?

Good afternoon, Andrew!
I'm really impressed you don't forbidden me to visit your blog after my first comment.
I supposed you were expecting that I'll never visit it again. Don't worry. I'll write a scientific article today (Do you remember , "El món de'n Beakman" Beakman's world???).
However, I've read the article about the global warming. This article reminds me they are peolpe with nothing interesting to do in their lifes!!!! But it makes me feel there is some burning questions in my life that I need to know. And one of this quaestions is "How many CO2 I'm using when I'm looking for in google how many CO2 is using my computer when I'm looking for in internet how many CO2 I'm using? Is'nt it a big question? Have you ever think about it? I'm sure you will think about it until now. But fortunatelly, I have the answer!!!!!
Let's me explain:
1. The Tidal Volume is the volume of air that I move in a normal breathing. For the adult people is more o less five hundred mL.
2. When you're breathing out the % of CO2 in the exhaled air is 4% (Normal inhaled air 0'04%)
3. So, If a healthy peolpe like us breath 12 times per minute and usual google search could take us ten minutes; it represents that in a google search I'm producing 2,4 L of unhealthy CO2 (10 minutes X 12 br per minute X 0,5 L per breath X 4% of CO2 in the exhaled air= 2,4 L; is'nt it?)
4. But in the article they're talking about grams, no Liters!!!! So What's the air's weight?
I take a ballon and I weigh it before and after blow up it. The difference of weight was 0,8 g and I breath in it four times. That means 2L of air (remember 0,5 L per breath) , so 0,4 g per L.
5. After calculate all of this, the final answer is 2,4 L of CO2 X 0,4 g/L= 0,96 grams of CO2 ( So I'm producing more o less 1 g of CO2; for the unprobly mistakes of such a scentific experiment). That means 5 times more of the CO2 than google for the same searching.
MAIN CONCLUSION:
To stop the global warming the solution is STOP BREATHING!!!
Thank you very much for your atention. There is some questions of the audience? No, so now I'm gonna stop thinking not breathing (It's my favourite situation)
Hey Jesus. Some impressive math manipualation. Does this mean you are a global warming sceptic, denying the link between CO2 and climate change? Do you just feel that there are other more plausible solutions to controlling CO2 emmissions, plant more trees? Or, do you feel that we are just doomed? Please don't leave it there, it would be good to hear more.
Don't worry Andrew! I never leave peolpe in the darkness (well, my ex-girlfriend maybe thinks different but It was very long time ago!)
Plant more trees! I can not expect less of you veggiereggie! It could be as good as stop using google!
I think the global warming is a natural process and we're accelerating it with our behavour (Haven't you see Ice age, the Meltdown?). I hope this reference will be enough for you.
And remeber, more comments are coming... (UUhhh)
