A lot of my friends don't believe me when I say there are known, respected scientists and climatologists that don't believe in Global Warming. Check out this story:
Naturalist David Bellamy shunned because he doesn't toe the Global Warming line
David Bellamy is venting that the BBC has pulled him off the air because he doesn't believe in Global Warming. Unfortunately, the article lists his feelings more than any actual facts, however, the botanist has written 35 books and presented over 400 programmes over the years. He's a pretty respected fellow.
Here's a couple highlights:
According to official data, in every year since 1998 world temperatures have
been getting colder, and in 2002 Arctic ice actually increased. Why, then, do we
not hear about that?
and
I’ve seen evidence, which I believe, that says there has not been a rise in
global temperature since 1998, despite the increase in carbon dioxide being
pumped into the atmosphere. This makes me think the global warmers are telling
lies – carbon dioxide is not the driver.
(I really want to see the evidence he's talking about)
But ultimately, here's the *real* point he makes, that I've been making for years now:
The thing that annoys me most is that there are genuine environmental problems
that desperately require attention. I’m still an environmentalist, I’m still a
Green and I’m still campaigning to stop the destruction of the biodiversity of
the world. But money will be wasted on trying to solve this global warming
“problem” that I would much rather was used for looking after the people of the
world.
(emphasis added)
As I see it, there are two big problems with Global Warming/Climate Change/Modern Hysteria: A) it's diverting attention, energy, resources, money from the real problems to a "guess" problem. And more importantly B) any fix we try to implement will probably make matters worse! Whenever man tries to muck around with nature, we just screw it up big time. If you haven't yet, read the late Michael Crichton's speech on Complexity Theory and Environmental Management. It explains how man tried to "manage" Yellowstone, and truly made a huge mess of things. Now take that and multiply it on a global scale, and you'll see why Global Warming is dangerous...
