Scientific Feud over Global Warming

E-mail to Congress:

EIN News says, "Climate Emails Stoke Debate; Scientists' Leaked Correspondence Illustrates Bitter Feud Over Global Warming. The scientific community is buzzing over thousands of emails and documents -- posted on the Internet last week after being hacked from a prominent climate-change research center -- that some say raise ethical questions about a group of scientists who contend humans are responsible for global warming. The correspondence between dozens of climate-change researchers, including many in the U.S., illustrates bitter feelings among those who believe human activities cause global warming toward rivals who argue that the link between humans and climate change remains uncertain.

I read a number of these e-mails, which were sent to me as a stack by my nephew. They are difficult reading, because they use a lot of professional (?) jargon, nick names, abbreviations, and other writing shortcuts. However, I think the Wall Street Journal has summed up correctly in reporting that there is a lot of confusion and difference of opinion on the scientific basis and promotion of anthropogenic (man-made) global warming. I would go one step further in noting that the original proponents established the theory with a religious zeal, but could not get everybody on board. I find this equivalent to the Jones situation in Guyana. Not everybody took the cyanide laced Kool-Aid.

I have said before and continue to assert that we should kill any attempts to control climate through limiting carbon dioxide emissions. The low carbon dioxide concentration in the atmosphere has no significant effect on global warming, even if emissions increase the concentration twofold. The whole Cap and Trade program is a financial scam intended to redistribute wealth, increase government size, and line the pockets of a few.

If we cannot kill Climate Control now, we should do our best to postpone it. Time will show the unrealistic aspects of the proposal, but once we have accepted the program, it will be almost impossible to backtrack, even with the ultimate determination that the program is based on a hoax.
