Quote of the day: The “one-letter” dismissal of global warming

We welcome thoughtful disagreement.
But we do (ir)regularly moderate comments -- and we *will* delete any with insulting or abusive language. Or if they're just inane. It’s okay to disagree, but pretend you’re having a drink in the living room with the person you’re disagreeing with. This includes me.
PS: Have the honesty and courage to use your real name. That gives added weight to any opinion.
While I think that's a great quote, and that Hayden has written a succinct letter to the EPA, that line does not appear in the letter. Rather, as the website you link to points out, it is Hayden's email sign-off.
ReplyDeleteIf you want a clear and concise understanding of what makes a reliable and workable energy grid then read his book "The Solar Fraud".
ReplyDeleteA review of it is here http://www.numberwatch.co.uk/solar_fraud.htm
Also his monthly "The Energy Advocate" newsletter is interesting reading, but it is only available through the post
On the other side of the debate,
ReplyDeletethere is Raymond T. Pierrehumbert's letter to Steve Levitt (one of the authors of Superfreakonomics).
It adresses all of Howard Hayden's concerns.
I've noticed that the majority of scientists who support the AGW theory are climatologists and ecologists while the majority of scientists who challenge the theory are physicists. There is a reason for this.

ReplyDeleteDebate all you like. Fact is, the AGW theory is false. The facts of reality do not support it. They directly oppose it.
In essence, the AGW movement is merely another collectivist political cult. As with all previous collectivist cults, it is based on deceit and dishonesty. As with all previous collectivist cults, it has failed. Unortunately the costs are yet to be fully borne.

Yes, LG, and further to that is this:
ReplyDeleteWhether the planet is warming *or* cooling, the alarmists would still be promoting a collectivist "save the planet" tax & imposition agenda.
Nothing would change -- all of which proves that this is a political issue as opposed to climatic.
