A Few Words for Global Warming Alarmists
Al Gore and his army of global warming alarmists would have us believe that the end is near, at least according to their divinatory interpretations of weather around the globe.
It’s been snowing, lightly, here in Michigan the past 4 days.
Be that as it may, here’s a few words from a piece penned by Richard S. Lindzen, published by Newsweek, regarding these dire global warming prognostications.
The earth is always warming or cooling by as much as a few tenths of a degree a year; periods of constant average temperatures are rare. Looking back on the earth’s climate history, it’s apparent that there’s no such thing as an optimal temperature—a climate at which everything is just right. The current alarm rests on the false assumption not only that we live in a perfect world, temperaturewise, but also that our warming forecasts for the year 2040 are somehow more reliable than the weatherman’s forecast for next week.
Lindzen’s piece is titled Why So Gloomy?
