Interesting Anti Antics
The US House of Representatives is about to vote on clean energy and climate legislation. Thank Goodness say most of the world! However it has really brought out the sceptics in force.
There are two types of sceptics (or skeptics):
- The ultra conservatives who hate change even more than the rest of us and
- The geologists whose research is largely funded by the mining and especially the coal and oil industry and we need to remember that geologists are trained to look DOWN at the soil, earth’s crust and BACK to the past and Atmospheric physicists look UP at the atmosphere and at what is happening NOW and in the future.
They have totally different training and most actually have less in common than a gynaecologist and a dentist and you would not dream of mixing those to groups of medical professionals up. In Australia we have Professor Ian Plimer, a geologists much of whose work has discredited by many in the scientific community because it defies some of the laws of physics, publicising his new anti climate change book.
However the naysayers are having campaigns on TV and behind closed doors to scare politicians and put our children’s future at risk.
I would love the bulk of scientists who are warning us of the need for urgent action to be wrong but there is too much evidence they are right and the risk to my grandchildren is too great to take. I refuse to gamble with their future!
