CLIMATE EXPERTS CORRECT U.S. PRESIDENT |
|
March 30, 2009: "With all due respect Mr. President, that is not true." Open letter to American President Barack Obama from over 100 climate scientists - Cato Institute newspaper ad just out. "We, the undersigned scientists, maintain that the case for alarm regarding climate change is grossly overstated. Surface temperature changes over the past century have been episodic and modest and there has been no net global warming for over a decade now.1,2 After controlling for population growth and property values, there has been no increase in damages from severe weather-related events.3 The computer models forecasting rapid temperature change abjectly fail to explain recent climate behavior.4 Mr. President, your characterization of the scientific facts regarding climate change and the degree of certainty informing the scientific debate is simply incorrect." Read whole signature list. Note: "Professor Pilmer" should be "Professor Plimer, Ph.D, University Of Melbourne (emeritus)"- see his presentation here.
