Excerpt:
"As a geologist, I love Earth observations. But, it is ridiculous to tie this objective to a "consensus" that humans are causing global warming in when human experience, geologic data and history, and current cooling can argue otherwise. "Consensus", as many have said, merely represents the absence of definitive science. You know as well as I, the "global warming scare" is being used as a political tool to increase government control over American lives, incomes and decision making..."

Harrison Hagan "Jack" Schmitt (born July 3, 1935) is an American geologist, a former NASA astronaut and a one-term U.S. Senator. He is the twelfth person to walk on the Moon; as of 2008, of the nine living moonwalkers, he and his crewmate Eugene Cernan were the last two to walk there.

Talk about “speak truth to power”!
My mom worked on his campaign when I was a child. I even have an autograph somewhere.

Anyone who still buys Algore’s “global warming” scam really is an idiot. “The Truth Is Out There.” All they have to do is read it.
Anthropogenic global warming is just about the easiest concept to debunk that is out there. That it has been so widely accepted as some kind of fact is a testimony to the skill that leftists and other control freaks exhibit in the field of propaganda. It is also a testimony to the increasing susceptibility of the public to such idiocies.
I met Harrison Schmidt as a boy. He is the only politician I ever met who did not like to be the center of attention. He seemed to have no ego at all.

Michael Crichton passed away recently. An important voice of reason has been silenced. A moment of silence please...
He sounds like he has his Schmitt together

I don't know all the details, but I heard today that some GW bigwigs did a study and proclaimed that October, 2008 was the warmest October on record. The problem was that their “study” used SEPTEMBER data.
September, 2008 will likely be the warmest December on record.
Well, God Bless Harrison Hagan "Jack" Schmitt! Adult supervision has arrived at NASA! What a contrast to those at NASA who have lost their scientific objectivity and integrity and common sense in connection with the claim that global warming is caused by mankind. Frankly speaking, there are too many "scientists" with a vested interest in man-caused global warming; these scientists are too quick to claim that global warming is caused by carbon dioxide on the basis of inadequate supporting evidence.
The truth is actually out there for anyone who has read a high school geology book prior to 1970. That was about the year that they started to remove objective knowledge from the text books and fill them with inane trivia about how destructive man has been to the planet. The truth of the matter is that the Earth is likely to be supporting life long after Mankind has departed the premises one way or the other. I'm hoping for the Dogs to inherit the Earth. First, I like dogs. Second, they're loyal and generally don't bite you unless you deserve it. Third, they're probably too good natured to screw things up the way we seem to be doing. Finally, they're not likely to elect anyone named Obamma or Achmed to lead them. Always a wise course.
All it took for me to know that Al Gore is a fraudlent idiot was reading his (ghost-written ???) book "Earth in the balance."
