can cause”

Don Surber is airing some most inconvenient facts:
Global-warming-hoax-cartoon16 actual scientists have joined 1973 Nobel-
winning physicist Ivar Giaever in calling global warming concerns overblown.
In a letter published in the Wall Street Journal today, the scientists
called for everyone to remain calm — and mocked the alarmism by UN
bureaucrats over global warming and carbon dioxide.
They recommended that the world do nothing about global warming for the
next 50 years.
“The fact is that CO2 is not a pollutant,” the scientists wrote in
their letter, which the Wall Street Journal headlined: “No Need to Panic
About Global Warming. There’s no compelling scientific argument for drastic
action to ‘decarbonize’ the world’s economy.”
The letter went on to explain that warming may actually benefit life on
Earth: “CO2 is a colorless and odorless gas, exhaled at high concentrations
by each of us, and a key component of the biosphere’s life cycle. Plants
do so much better with more CO2 that greenhouse operators often increase the
CO2 concentrations by factors of three or four to get better growth. This
is no surprise since plants and animals evolved when CO2 concentrations were
about 10 times larger than they are today. Better plant varieties, chemical
fertilizers and agricultural management contributed to the great increase
in agricultural yields of the past century, but part of the increase almost
certainly came from additional CO2 in the atmosphere.”
The scientists did not dismiss entirely the idea that carbon dioxide and
other greenhouse gases may be increasing temperatures. The scientists
simply said there is no proof that the globe is warming.
“The lack of warming for more than a decade — indeed, the smaller-than
-predicted warming over the 22 years since the U.N.’s Intergovernmental
Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) began issuing projections — suggests that
computer models have greatly exaggerated how much warming additional CO2 can
cause,” the scientists wrote. “Faced with this embarrassment, those
promoting alarm have shifted their drumbeat from warming to weather extremes
, to enable anything unusual that happens in our chaotic climate to be
ascribed to CO2.”
The scientists made many of the same points skeptics such as Anthony
Watts and cynics like me have made: Global warming alarmism is an industry
that has enriched many, many people.
The 16 scientists made a grand suggestion: Do nothing.
There’s more and it’s worthy.

Doing nothing however is something I’ll disagree with vehemently. What
needs to be done is being done but we need more rigor and vigor.
What must be done is the continued unmasking of the fakery that is the
global warming movement. May many more scientists have the courage to stand
as these 16 have done. |
