Climate change campaigners should not have fixated on carbon dioxide argues the Telegraph's Geoffrey Lean, and I totally agree with him.

And back in the "well they blame it for everything else" category we have Walruses die en masse as Arctic ice melts - the false implication being that they dies due to global warming, even though Arctic ice has been much less extensive in the recent geological past. I don't think walruses (which incidently are listed as a protected species in Britain) will garner quite the public outcry that cute, cuddly, polar bears do.
