JJ, in the Government Concentrate section of the March 24 issue of Chemical and Engineering News, brings to our attention that both the White House and the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS) have new programs on climate change. Both programs are intended to raise public awareness of climate change and to avoid, mitigate or at least prepare for the most harmful impacts.
Well said! Similar to our normal preparedness for unusual weather, naturally occurring climate change will have similar effects on weather, and we should prepare for it.
All that makes a lot of sense until we get to the end of the article, which says that 97% of scientists believe in human induced climate change driven by human greenhouse gas emissions. They mean carbon dioxide emissions from burning carbon containing fossil fuels.
That's all baloney! I'm what I call a normal scientist, and don't believe I am in a minority of 3%. If you want to consider pseudoscientists, whose scientific integrity have been compromised by federal money, that might be right.
However, let me again repeat my often stated position that carbon dioxide is emitted from the burning of fossil fuels, but that carbon dioxide addition to the atmosphere has only an insignificant effect on climate compared to natural forces, such as the Sun's output.
The pseudoscientists of government and presumably the AAAS like the idea of pressing the thought of disastrous results from climate change caused by CO2, because they make more money in doing so. The fact is that they never bother to investigate the real science involving heat transfer through atmospheric gases, because it would be disadvantageous to their snake oil program.
