[QUOTE="Sammie, post: 235935, member: 8657"] You want scientists, Diesel, we'll give you scientists. Michael Crichton is a scientist, writer and filmmaker. His latest book, "State of Fear", explains in detail the flawed science behind Global Warming and other imagined environmental crises. Richard Lindzen is an atmospheric physicist and professor of meteorology at MIT, known for his research in dynamic meteorology and atmospheric waves. He's is a member of the National Academy of Sciences and has held positions at the University of Chicago, Harvard University and MIT. Linzen often speaks out against the notion that Global Warming is caused by humans. Professor Bob Carter of the Marine Geophysical Laboratory at James Cook University in Australia gives a great assessment: "Gore's circumstantial arguments are so weak that they're pathetic. It is simply incredible that they, and his film, are commanding such public attention." Carter also states that Gore's activism, "Is an embarrassment to U.S. science and its many fine practitioners, a lot of whom know (but feel unable to state publicly) that his propaganda crusade is based on junk science." Carleton University paleoclimatologist Professor Tim Patterson testified last year before the Commons Committee on Environment and Sustainable Development, stating that "There is no meaningful correlation between CO2 levels and Earth's temperature over this [geologic] time frame. In fact, when CO2 levels were over ten times higher than they are now, about 450 million years ago, the planet was in the depths of the absolute coldest period in the last half billion years. On the basis of this evidence, how could anyone still believe that the recent relatively small increase in CO2 levels would be the major cause of the past century's modest warming?" Dr. Boris Winterhalter, former marine researcher at the Geological Survey of Finland and professor in marine geology at the University of Helsinki, takes apart Gore's dramatic display of Antarctic glaciers collapsing into the sea. "The breaking glacier wall is a normally occurring phenomenon which is due to the normal advance of a glacier. In Antarctica the temperature is low enough to prohibit melting of the ice front, so if the ice is grounded, it has to break off in ice cascades. If the water is deep enough icebergs will form." Gore's point that 200 cities and towns in the American West set all time high temperature records is very misleading according to Dr. Roy Spencer, Principal Research Scientist at The University of Alabama in Huntsville. "It's not unusual for some locations, out of the thousands of cities and towns in the U.S., to set all-time records. The actual data shows that overall, recent temperatures in the U.S. were not unusual." But who listens? And in the mean time, the public hangs onto every word that comes out of a politician's mouth. Despite the fact that the majority of them have no knowledge or understanding of science, especially the science of climate and climate change. They're hardly scientists and are in no position to question a policy on climate change when it threatens our planet. But this use of fear and hysteria makes it tough to make rational decisions.
