Another climate scientist joins the ranks of skeptics
Full article: http://opinion.financialpost.com/2011/04/07/climate-models-go-cold/

"Carbon warming too minor to be worth worrying about

...

At this point, official “climate science” stopped being a science. In science, empirical evidence always trumps theory, no matter how much you are in love with the theory. If theory and evidence disagree, real scientists scrap the theory. But official climate science ignored the crucial weather balloon evidence, and other subsequent evidence that backs it up, and instead clung to their carbon dioxide theory — that just happens to keep them in well-paying jobs with lavish research grants, and gives great political power to their government masters.

There are now several independent pieces of evidence showing that the earth responds to the warming due to extra carbon dioxide by dampening the warming. Every long-lived natural system behaves this way, counteracting any disturbance. Otherwise the system would be unstable. The climate system is no exception, and now we can prove it.

But the alarmists say the exact opposite, that the climate system amplifies any warming due to extra carbon dioxide, and is potentially unstable. It is no surprise that their predictions of planetary temperature made in 1988 to the U.S. Congress, and again in 1990, 1995, and 2001, have all proved much higher than reality."

It appears that some scientist can use their eyes and some common sense.

1. Oh, come on.
"He is a mathematician and engineer, with six university degrees, including a PhD from Stanford University in electrical engineering."

So where is his fucking degree in climatology?

He's a paid shill for the extraction energy corporations. This little piece has so much wrong information it's hard to know where to start.

3. This Fellow Is A Political Hack, Sir
" But the gravy train was too big, with too many jobs, industries, trading profits, political careers, and the possibility of world government and total control riding on the outcome. So rather than admit they were wrong, the governments, and their tame climate scientists, now outrageously maintain the fiction that carbon dioxide is a dangerous pollutant."

11. Wasn't this the guy saying 30 years of satellite data wasn't enough to track trends then
Edited on Tue May-17-11 05:29 AM by Pholus
concluded from the same data that the earth actually cooled from 2001 - 2008?

There were several other crankoid moves, Google around to find them. It's not like he made this decision to become a skeptic last week.

Science FAIL.
