Alarming conclusions

Dennis Horne, in “Our children need a miracle” (Times, February 15), jumps to some odd conclusions and, once again, misses the point.
He previously claimed that the late Richard Feynman must have believed in the CO2 theory of the greenhouse effect, because: “why did he not say so”?
I responded by highlighting that Feynman validated the competing theory in 1963.
Mr Horne fails to even acknowledge Feynman’s lecture.
Instead, like a politician, he goes off on a tangent, deflecting with a bold, unsubstantiated, and wholly incorrect claim about what “Ryan Price believes…”.
I made no claims about what I believe. I highlighted the work of Feynman.
They are not the same thing.
And while accusing me of not understanding the nature of science, his incoherent ramblings about oxygen, nitrogen, Lord Kelvin and Becquerel make no sense at all in the context of Feynman’s lecture and suggest to me that Mr Horne has not even read it.
Then, as for: “Mr Price must explain why adding more CO2 to the atmosphere would not cause warming”. It is quite absurd to expect me to defend a claim I have never made.
And as for “oil billionaires” – many of the biggest investors in “green” solar, wind, and wave energy are those same “oil” billionaires. But sure, let’s perpetuate the myth that “green energy” billionaires are the “good guys” only interested in saving the planet and not-at-all interested in lining their pockets with taxpayer subsidies.
