I stand corrected, Fred. My example above was simply an example of
a falsehood, i.e. it was claimed there is no evidence that such and
such is a consequence of CO2 or man's acitivities or whatever.

For those who might like to indulge in spotting logical fallacies
in argument (it takes a diligent mind and real work!) try these two
links:
