More from the IPCC on Global Warming

Open Email to House Representatives and Senators:

Dear Representatives and Congressman,
    the United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) has released its latest report on climate change. According to Chemical and Engineering News, the latest world report rests on stronger science, researchers say. The summary goes on to say that the world is warming and humans are the dominant cause, confirming earlier assessments. The study group notes that a better fundamental understanding of climate systems has boosted the confidence underlying its predictions and projections. Such improvements arise from greater amounts of data available from continuing climate observations over time, enhanced climate models and increases in computer processing power.
    It should be separately noted that no world temperature increases of any significance have been observed in the last 10 years, in spite of measured increases in atmospheric carbon dioxide concentrations. Since all previous IPCC computer modeling showed significant temperature increases, it is obvious that previous computer modeling was incorrect and misleading. The current claimed improvement in modeling techniques may be at least a recognition that everything previously said was wrong.
    The report finds that the main driver of climate change [global warming] is greenhouse gas emission, principally carbon dioxide. Without checks on greenhouse gas emission, the IPCC claims exorbitantly that global service temperatures will likely rise 2 degrees centigrade by 2050.
    That's only a repeat of their old drum that they keep pounding. Never, for even an instant, do they give an explanation of why carbon dioxide would grossly affect global warming temperatures at the low concentration of 0.05%, which it exists in the atmosphere, compared to other obvious greenhouse gases in high concentration, such as oxygen and nitrogen. Several of us scientists continue to ask the scientific community for laboratory data or reasonable speculation which would indicate that carbon dioxide is a special greenhouse gas. Nothing has been forthcoming for the last two years. The IPCC is dodging that main issue by continuing to predict disaster and generate fear in the collective mind of a gullible public. The IPCC couples this with super sophisticated but mostly irrelevant information involving higher mathematical calculations, recent inclusion of the so-called effects of land-use change, and effects of aerosols.
    I call this to your attention, primarily because you handle the purse strings of the nation, and I would like you to be aware that any dime you spend, in reacting to the carbon dioxide/climate change hoax, will be an extreme disservice to the US public.
