I don't think it's an excellent read.

No facts - no news - just the claim that everyone is out to catch the author because of his differing opinion.

I did a short research on that guy. He's part of a canadian organisation that calls themself the " Natural Resource Stewardsip Project" - but is all about global warming and why it cannot be manmade - no diversity in opinions in this institution.

So hiding behind a bullshit title there's certainly more bullshit:

The following is from sourcewatch:

According to an October 16, 2006 CanWest News article, journalist Peter O'Neill asked Harris about who financially backs the NRSP. O'Neill reported that, according to Harris, "a confidentiality agreement doesn't allow him to say whether energy companies are funding his [the NRSP] group." [22] Subsequently, Harris stated that there was no "confidentiality agreement". He also insisted that "it is normal for non-profit entities like NRSP to protect the privacy of supporters by not publicizing contributions." [23]

"This is necessary given the nature of the issues we address and the fact that most people do not want to be harassed by lobbyists for support of our activities," he wrote in an edit to an earlier version of this article. [24]

However, Harris declined to indicate any instance of where disclosure of funders had led to harassment or why secrecy of corporate contributions was appropriate.


Ahhhh - he may not talk about who's paying the party - is trust earned by obscurity ?

I guess not.

No facts? How about his own experience:

"Since I obtained my doctorate in climatology from the University of London, Queen Mary College, England my career has spanned two climate cycles. Temperatures declined from 1940 to 1980 and in the early 1970's global cooling became the consensus. This proves that consensus is not a scientific fact.

By the 1990's temperatures appeared to have reversed and Global Warming became the consensus. It appears I'll witness another cycle before retiring, as the major mechanisms and the global temperature trends now indicate a cooling."

Don't you have problems with all that aluminum foil around your head at his time of year? I would have though the static electrisity would drive you crazy. Oh, maybe that's the problem.

Show us one credible scientific exhortation that proves Man's CO2 emission cause global warming.

Ther is no consensus that comes close to defining the global dynamics of CO2 absorbtion.

electricity I can spell, not type.

It is fascinating that a man with impeccable qualifications and experience can be attacked by someone with none.

It seems his concern about the debate is fully justified.
