I haven't seen one demonstrable instance of big oil funding to AGW deniers. Redux, please show us some proof of what you say, especially since there hundred of millions being thrown around.
Whilst your there, I haven't seen one mention of bibles on this forum, so once again, how about some evidence to back up a wild claim.
Lastly, smog is not CO2.
London Smog
London-type smog is mainly a product of burning large amounts of high sulfur coal. Clean air laws passed in 1956 have greatly reduced smog formation in the United Kingdom; however, in other parts of the world London-type smog is still very prevalent. The main constituent of London-type smog is soot; however, these smogs also contain large quantities of fly ash, sulfur dioxide, sodium chloride and calcium sulfate particles. If concentrations are high enough, sulfur dioxide can react with atmospheric hydroxide to produce sulfuric acid, which will precipitate as
acid rain.

Composition of Photochemical Smog
The following substances are identified in photochemical smog:
1.
Nitrogen Dioxide (
NO2) from vehicle exhaust, is photolyzed by ultraviolet (UV) radiation (
hν) from the sun and decomposes into
Nitrogen Oxide (
NO and an oxygen radical:
NO2+
hν→
NO+
O.(1)
2. The oxygen radical then reacts with an atmospheric oxygen molecule to create ozone, O3:
O.+
O2→
O3(2)
3. Under normal conditions, O3 reacts with NO, to produce NO2 and an oxygen molecule:
O3+
NO→
O2+
NO2(3)
This is a continual cycle that leads only to a temporary increase in net ozone production. To create photochemical smog on the scale observed in Los Angeles, the process must include
Volatile organic compounds (VOC's).
4. VOC's react with hydroxide in the atmosphere to create water and a reactive VOC molecule:
RH+
OH.→
R.+
H2
O(4)
5. The reactive VOC can then bind with an oxygen molecule to create an oxidized VOC:
R.+
O2→
RO2(5)
6. The oxidized VOC can now bond with the nitrogen oxide produced in the earlier set of equations to form nitrogen dioxide and a reactive VOC molecule:
RO2+
NO→
