Global Warming Skepticism Grows!


Renowned Scientist Defects From Belief in Global Warming – Caps Year of Vindication for Skeptics
Paleoclimate scientist Bob Carter has noted that there is indeed a problem with global warming – it stopped in 1998. “According to official temperature records of the Climate Research Unit at the University of East Anglia in the UK, the global average temperature did not increase between 1998-2005.

Earlier this year, a group of prominent scientists came forward to question the so-called “consensus” that the Earth faces a “climate emergency.” On April 6, 2006, 60 scientists wrote a letter to the Canadian Prime Minister asserting that the science is deteriorating from underneath global warming alarmists.

“Observational evidence does not support today's computer climate models, so there is little reason to trust model predictions of the future…Significant [scientific] advances have been made since the [Kyoto] protocol was created, many of which are taking us away from a concern about increasing greenhouse gases. If, back in the mid-1990s, we knew what we know today about climate, Kyoto would almost certainly not exist, because we would have concluded it was not necessary,” the 60 scientists wrote.

thanks for this. it's sad...i just never know who/what to believe. i still feel torn. i think its my desire to take care of God's creation; i think i do my part. but then i hear the global warming news.... i really hope it isn't true. i have a very hard time believing it could be true.

Yeah it is really hard to know who/what to believe. I think part of it for me is that I think it is man's arrogance to think that we could destroy the earth. God has made us stewards over the planet, but He is still in control. I pretty much don't believe any doomsday science. Even scientists have to get funding, and it is hard for someone who says "Nope everything is fine, nothing to worry about" to get money.
