Global Warming Chickenlittleism

- Richard Mills - Ahead of the Herd

Given the length of this response it is apparent that this author is not a casual reader.

In response:

1. the real danger is the person who sticks his head in the sand and hopes that it will all go away. It won't.
2. by all means attack the IPCC. It is easy to rubbish research when you have no scientific credentials yourself. The important question is WHO PAYS YOUR SALARY? This is the canary in the coal mine (sic).
3. The data which does have credibility comes from organisations and individuals who have credibility and who are not funded by self interest multi-nationals (coal, gas and businesses who are trying to contain costs to their survival). The author needs to take a look at the graph of CO2 produced by Nasa: http://climate.nasa.gov/evidence. By all means discredit this organisation as well .... but you won't get very far. The graph shows the increase in CO2 over half a million years. Around 1950 the graph went beserk. You can run but you can't hide.
4. The author goes on the justify the increase in CO2 as being from forest bio mass. Good try. The truth is that there are a whole lot of reasons why CO2 is being released into the atmoshphere, the major factors being population increase and the burning of coal to produce electricity. Third world countries are developing and joining in as well thus enunciating the problem. Add to that the burning of forests with mass land clearing and you get an idea of where this issue is coming from.

I can only but believe that Schwerpunkt is a cash for comment individual employed by the very industries which are the very cause of the problem. Credibility and honesty are the hallmarks of a good debate. Whilst mistakes are made on both sides the real danger is in the intentional lies and clever deception. You won't get any of that from me and name call all you like as it has no effect. The old saying about playing the ball and not the man is as true today as when it was coined.

By the way, I checked out the link provided. It is the work of a guy called Edmund Contoski. I checked his background and was not too surprised at what I discovered. Here is an extract:

"Edmund Contoski has had a varied career. He is a former director of planning for an internationally renowned environmental consulting firm doing business in more than forty countries. He has been an urban planner and held responsible positions with major real estate development companies. In addition, he has lectured widely on international monetary issues and done economic research on a variety of subjects, including world trade."

Apart from having no science credentials the last sentence puts this person into perspective. As I said previously the deniers hard at work!!

Beginning of the headline :The nature of the recently released report by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) is extremely alarmist. The report warns, with a 95% certainty, that global warming is man-made and that the resulting climate change will lead to: Rising temperatures, drought and increasing desertification Warming of the oceans and rising sea levels Shortages of food Loss of ice sheets & shrinking of glaciers Increasing intensity and size of storms There’s no doubt our climate is changing,...
