Are you getting sick of the constant talk about man-made global warming theory?

I am!

You just have to switch on the radio or TV or open a newspaper and hey presto! Some politician or earth worshiping greenie is telling you how your light bulbs are causing the ice caps to melt, or how having children is an evil act of environmental pollution.

Yawn.

Everyone here knows that I am firmly opposed to the THEORY that global warming is man-made. I have examined the scientific evidence on both sides of the debate and I am confident that the theory of man-made global warming is a misuse of science to promote various political ideologies (such as population control and environmentalism).

It seems I am not alone in holding this opinion.

In fact, 31,072 US scientists have signed a petition which states the following:

We urge the United States government to reject the global warming agreement that was written in Kyoto, Japan in December, 1997, and any other similar proposals. The proposed limits on greenhouse gases would harm the environment, hinder the advance of science and technology, and damage the health and welfare of mankind.

There is no convincing scientific evidence that human release of carbon dioxide, methane, or other greenhouse gasses is causing or will, in the foreseeable future, cause catastrophic heating of the Earth’s atmosphere and disruption of the Earth’s climate. Moreover, there is substantial scientific evidence that increases in atmospheric carbon dioxide produce many beneficial effects upon the natural plant and animal environments of the Earth.

Like I said, so far 31,072 American scientists have signed their name to this statement.

9,021 of these scientists are PhDs.

Here is breakdown of the various different types of scientists who signed this statement:

1. Atmospheric, environmental, and Earth sciences includes 3,697 scientists trained in specialties directly related to the physical environment of the Earth and the past and current phenomena that affect that environment.

2. Computer and mathematical sciences includes 903 scientists trained in computer and mathematical methods. Since the human-caused global warming hypothesis rests entirely upon mathematical computer projections and not upon experimental observations, these sciences are especially important in evaluating this hypothesis.

3. Physics and aerospace sciences include 5,691 scientists trained in the fundamental physical and molecular properties of gases, liquids, and solids, which are essential to understanding the physical properties of the atmosphere and Earth.

4. Chemistry includes 4,796 scientists trained in the molecular interactions and behaviors of the substances of which the atmosphere and Earth are composed.

5. Biology and agriculture includes 2,924 scientists trained in the functional and environmental requirements of living things on the Earth.

6. Medicine includes 3,069 scientists trained in the functional and environmental requirements of human beings on the Earth.

7. Engineering and general science includes 9,992 scientists trained primarily in the many engineering specialties required to maintain modern civilization and the prosperity required for all human actions, including environmental programs.

When will the NZ media and our gullible politicians start acknowledging that man-made global warming is simply a theory and that there is a large and growing body of scientists who do not support it?
