The Australian research focused on the thermal effects or specific absorption rate (SAR) of radio frequency radiation - a measure of its actual effects on brain tissue, whereas the earlier study simply looked at electromagnetic radiation levels.

Stacking up the numbers, he realised that human activities were adding CO2 to the atmosphere in a quantity and rate equivalent to all natural processes of absorption or emission of the gas.
