Scientists Write Open Letter to Congress:
'You Are Being Deceived About Global Warming' -- 'Earth has been cooling for
ten years'
'Present cooling was NOT predicted by the alarmists' computer
models, and has come as an embarrassment to them'
Wednesday, July 01, 2009 - By Marc Morano – Climate Depot
Below is a
reprint of a July 1, 2009 letter to Congress by a team of atmospheric
scientists.
OPEN
LETTER TO THE CONGRESS OF THE UNITED STATES: YOU ARE BEING DECEIVED ABOUT
GLOBAL WARMING
You have
recently received an Open Letter from the Woods Hole Research Center, exhorting
you to act quickly to avoid global disaster. The letter purports to be from
independent scientists, but that Center is the former den of the President's
science advisor, John Holdren, and is far from independent. This is the same
science advisor who has given us predictions of “almost certain”
thermonuclear war or eco-catastrophe by the year 2000, and many other forecasts
of doom that somehow never seem to arrive on time.
The facts are:
The sky is not
falling; the Earth has been cooling for ten years, without help. The present
cooling was NOT predicted by the alarmists' computer models, and has come as an
embarrassment to them.
The finest
meteorologists in the world cannot predict the weather two weeks in advance,
let alone the climate for the rest of the century. Can Al Gore? Can John
Holdren? We are flooded with claims that the evidence is clear, that the debate
is closed, that we must act immediately, etc, but in fact
THERE IS NO SUCH
EVIDENCE; IT DOESN'T EXIST.
The proposed
legislation would cripple the US economy, putting us at a disadvantage compared
to our competitors. For such drastic action, it is only prudent to demand
genuine proof that it is needed, not guesswork, and not false claims about the
state of the science.
DEMAND PROOF,
NOT CONSENSUS
Finally, climate
alarmism pays well. Many alarmists are profiting from their activism. There are
billions of dollars floating around for the taking, and being taken.
