The Global Warming Myth?


The End Is Not Near -- Instead of Panicking Over Climate Change, Learn to Adjust to It

John Stossel is up to it again, ABC News last remaining skeptic is again debunking an other myth. If he keeps this up he will be bounced to the street by his bosses, that know there is money to be made in panicking there viewers.

Here is a small piece.

Lawyers from the Natural Resources Defense Council (another environmental group with more lawyers than scientists) warn that "sea levels will rise, flooding coastal areas. Heat waves will be more frequent and more intense. Droughts and wildfires will occur more often."

Wow.

But many scientists laugh at the panic.

Dr. John Christy, professor of Atmospheric Science at the University of Alabama at Huntsville said: "I remember as a college student at the first Earth Day being told it was a certainty that by the year 2000, the world would be starving and out of energy. Such doomsday prophecies grabbed headlines, but have proven to be completely false." "Similar pronouncements today about catastrophes due to human-induced climate change," he continued, "sound all too familiar and all too exaggerated to me as someone who actually produces and analyzes climate information."
