On the same day, NASA chief Michael Griffin commented in a US radio interview that "I am not sure that it is fair to say that (global warming) is a problem that we must wrestle with".To make things worse, this "not sure" cost taxpayers some $50 Billion and even that is going to look like nothing compared with the squandering of money that is going to accompany the introduction of a carbon trading or taxation system.
But is it really the carbon emissions? Many researchers think otherwise.
What is conveniently left out is that there have been natural warming and cooling periods in the past. From about 900 AD to 1300 AD the world experienced a significant warming period. During that time, the Vikings settled in Greenland and the population of Europe grew dramatically. Then from about 1400 to 1800 AD, a significant cooling period set in. Europe's crops were far less abundant and political strife was rampant. The plague killed millions. The ice on the famous picture of Washington crossing the Delaware River was real and people used to be able to walk on ice from Manhattan to Staten Island. But, after 1800, the world warmed again which we are still experiencing.National Post continues to publish its "denier" series of articles, denouncing the common myth of a man-made global warming. Instead of the myths, Professor Timothy Patterson provides facts about the effects of sunspots and solar winds on the Earth's climatic fluctuations. Those facts clearly show that science is nowhere near "settled" over global warming.
