No Smoking Hot Spot (Scientist recants on global warming)
The Australian ^ | July 18, 2008 | Dr. David Evans

Posted on 07/21/2008 8:06:29 PM PDT by raisetheroof

I DEVOTED six years to carbon accounting, building models for the Australian Greenhouse Office. I am the rocket scientist who wrote the carbon accounting model (FullCAM) that measures Australia's compliance with the Kyoto Protocol, in the land use change and forestry sector.

Dr. Evans has probably been crossed off Al Gore's Christmas card list over this one.

If Dr. Evans would have used a little common sense he wouldn’t be in this pickle. Dr. Evans = recovered helpful idiot

Great article...thanks for posting. Best paragraphs:

The world has spent $50 billion on global warming since 1990, and we have not found any actual evidence that carbon emissions cause global warming. Evidence consists of observations made by someone at some time that supports the idea that carbon emissions cause global warming. Computer models and theoretical calculations are not evidence, they are just theory.

What is going to happen over the next decade as global temperatures continue not to rise? The Labor Government is about to deliberately wreck the economy in order to reduce carbon emissions. If the reasons later turn out to be bogus, the electorate is not going to re-elect a Labor government for a long time. When it comes to light that the carbon scare was known to be bogus in 2008, the ALP is going to be regarded as criminally negligent or ideologically stupid for not having seen through it. And if the Liberals support the general thrust of their actions, they will be seen likewise.

I wonder why more Freepers haven’t read this. It’s a huge indictment of the Global Warming Cult.

You're right - great stuff.

Quite an article, he put considerable thought into this compact exposition. It is an apology and a warning.

Global Warming is just another Social Security Lock Box.

Originally meant to do good, but has become a fraud, ponzi scheme, and nothing more than a means to redistribute capital.

Everyone now knows it is not going to work, but keep on putting money in it.

Remove the redistribution of wealth and no one cares.

Al Gore is fat.

I am too so I can call him that.

Jeepus! All living things on earth are carbon based.
How did people get so stupid as to discount this very basic knowledge?

Carbon is a blessing, not a curse.

I am the rocket scientist who wrote...

I don't know if I can trust anyone who starts off a piece like this. But I like the rest of it.

BTW, I found a bio here and no mention of rockets. Weird.

It appears a lot of genuine scientists are starting to have second thoughts about risking their careers just to help a failed presidential candidate build a legacy and a huge bank account.

I hope so. But in the meantime, a "Labor government", and liberals in general pushing this, can do a lot of damage that will require much more than merely un-electing them to fix it.

I took it to answer the rhetorical question, “Who’s the ‘rocket scientist’ who wrote THIS? (full CAM)”
