Energy Secretary Rick Perry says he does not believe carbon dioxide is a primary contributor to global warming, a statement at odds with mainstream scientific consensus but in line with the head of the Environmental Protection Agency.
Perry was asked Monday on CNBC’s “Squawk Box” whether carbon emissions are primarily responsible for climate change and said no.
He added that “the most likely the primary control knob is the ocean waters and this environment that we live in.” …

You state the obvious but actually ocean current patterns such as El Nino, La Nina, and the North Atlantic Oscillation have a strong association with natural variations in the weather. I suppose Energy Secretary Rick Perry was trying to point this out. The record rains this year on our West Coast was associated with the strong El Nino. Warmists try to claim that CO2 has a similar association with the weather which is absolutely nonsense.
I remember that year. Great Grandpa called it, ‘Eighteen Hundred and Froze to Death.’ ;)
Very interesting read; I had forgotten about that. Thank G-D we’re coming OUT of the Ice Age we had just a short 3 million years ago! :)
Lucky you! ;)
I’m enjoying a GORGEOUS, breezy, 72-and-partly-sunny kind of day. Getting a lot done in the garden; I’m on my lunch break right now. Gonna hang laundry after I’m done goofing off here at FR.
The heat and humidity will be killer later in the summer, but for today? I’ll take it!
boo hoo.
“a statement at odds with mainstream scientific consensus”
How lie does the lie that there is “consensus” in science have to be exposed before the “mainstream” media quits the propaganda that there is “consensus”, when none exists.
The Nobel Prize-winning Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, organized by the United Nations
That settles it. The UN is never wrong. (Sarcasm)
Seems like that info has been general knowledge for some time now......unless you have an agenda.
Check out continental drift over the ages and the mean global temperature. There is a STRONG correlation between ocean currents and temperature. Look at the Younger Drayas also.
Okay fine but there is no warming.
Let’s see.
I am public school kid but I will try this one.
Let’s look at the solar system.
- One of these things is not like the other.
- Gigantic Glowing Burning white hot ball in the middle.
- It’s a huge nuclear fusion reactor.
I bet this could affect the climate on the planets.
Looks like there are flares and periods of increased and decreased activity.
BINGO... there is the climate control for planet Earth !!!
Please, give me a break, these idiots.
Carbon Dioxide is food for almost every living plant on earth.
They use it to make plants grow faster/hardier in green houses.
The whole thing from the quack scientists to the corrupt pope is a gigantic money making scheme.
Maybe the biggest lie of all time.
How dare Perry disagree with the Pope?!?! Our first pro-abortion Pope!
Denier! (Heretic) send for the Climate Change Inquisition he blasphemed the sacred dogma of St Algore
