Perhaps the only manmade thing about
global warming is the theory itself. The earth goes through climate cycles in
the same way that it goes through seasons. The fact that the climate changes is
nothing new. It goes through warming cycles and cooling cycles. The part where
the issue ceases to be scientific is the subject of who’s to blame, as if
someone has to be blamed for the weather. In politics, pointing fingers at a
particular group of people is how you win elections.
A group of climate scientists
attacked liberals’ alarmist view of global warming. The
Daily Caller reported: A panel of prominent scientists debunked one of the most popular global
warming arguments ahead of a major United Nations climate summit to take
place in Paris later this month.
The
scientists slammed policies to reduce carbon dioxide emissions
as “nonsense,” and they
criticized politicians and activists for claiming the world was on the path for
catastrophic global warming.
“The most
important thing to keep in mind is — when you ask ‘is it warming, is it
cooling’, etc. — is that we are talking about something tiny (temperature
changes) and that is the crucial point,” Dr. Richard Lindzen, a veteran climate
scientist at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.
“We are
speaking of small changes 0.25 Celcius would be about 51% of the recent warming
and that strongly suggests a low and inconsequential climate sensitivity —
meaning no problem at all,” said Lindzen, who is also a senior fellow at the
libertarian Cato Institute.
President
Barack Obama and his activist allies are calling for U.N. delegates to sign onto a global
treaty to
reduce CO2 emissions. Obama has been heavily pushing for this treaty for the
past year or so, even lobbying the Chinese government to sign onto an
agreement.
“Policies
to slow CO2 emissions are really based on nonsense,” Dr. Will Happer, a
physicist at Princeton University, said during the panel Thursday hosted by the
conservative Texas Public Policy Foundation. “They are all based on computer models that
do not work. We are being led down a false path,” Happer argued.
According to alarmists, these people
aren’t scientists, let alone climate scientists.
They might have the credentials and the experience and all that, but the fact
that they call into question a theory that has been politically accepted for
decades shows that they do not deserve their credentials. They might as well
deny gravity exists.
Conversely, a person needs no
credentials to believe in manmade global warming. Think Bill Nye. He’s been a
global warming cheerleader from the beginning. He has little more credentials
than being a children’s TV show personality.
