Global Warming Grievance

BRIEFING | BY BEN GILES - INTERN | MAY 22, 2008

Over 31,000 United States scientists have signed a petition urging the U.S. government “to reject the global warming agreement that was written in Kyoto, Japan in December, 1997, and any other similar proposals.”

At the National Press Club here, Arthur B. Robinson, who led a team of scientists at the Oregon Institute of Science and Medicine in researching the hypothesis of the Kyoto Protocol, presented the petition and his research on the subject at a time when the United Nations and various political interest groups urge the U.S. government to take actions to curb their greenhouse gas emissions. Robinson claims his research puts to rest the claim that increased emission of carbon dioxide and other gases are causing the simultaneous global rise in temperature.

“That is a general principle of logic: correlation does not prove causality,” said Robinson. “In this case, hydrocarbons don’t correlate with the temperature; the sun does.”

Robinson’s research does present solar activity as a possible cause of the rise in temperature. However, he is clear that his research in no way presents a culprit for the cause of rising temperatures; it only rebuts the Kyoto argument.

“There is nothing in the correlation that leads us to say it’s all the sun,” said Robinson, “but there is everything in the correlations to say that it isn’t hydrocarbons; they have no measurable factor."

The petition was, in fact, started 10 years earlier, when the Kyoto agreement was first signed by the U.S. government. Since then, the U.S. has refused to sign a ratification of the agreement that would allow the United Nations to monitor America’s output of greenhouse gas. The U.S. is currently the nation that emits the most greenhouse gases, the U.N. alleges....

Now if one of those San Francisco companies being nailed for thousands for Global Warming as a fee rather then a tax, sued with these reports as back up, it might, just might make the light in the loafers political thieves take their Global warming FEE and stick it where the sun only shines when their butt is aimed straight up.

Oh wait, then there is the 9th Circus, ready to back up any insanity benefiting a daydream.

Okay... so every year we put more and more green house gases in the air and it causes global warming... Then why is it so cold at the end of May? I also want to know what computer model predicted this. Any model that missed this needs to have their computer models dumped.

I think the hoax is being exposed.

Over a dozen threads, some today. Featured on Coast, which puts it in the fringe.

It is in the 60’s here in the Phoenix ares. It only got up to 77. The average high for this time of year is 95. Also, some snow flurries in Flagstaff. Paging Al Gore. Paging Al Gore. Please pick up the white courtesy phone.
