CptCircumspect/meteorology

The amount of data here on the page is probably just a hint of the detail in the book. What to me is more aggravating is that I don't see any of the major news outlets discussing this book or this scientific organization. Oddly enough I ran across this URL in the Costco Connection magazine (yes the store). The left-leaning media is determined not to cast doubt on anthropomorphic climate change. Sad.

From the page: The controversy sends confusing and mixed messages to the lay public. Why is there such a vigorous debate over climate change, even though it isn't getting warmer at the moment? And how can it be that scientists cannot even arrive at a consensus on changes in temperatures, even though temperatures are constantly being measured?



And yet.... we, -- UN member countries, the US -- are forming public policy based on such insubstantial scientific data. First you have factually inaccurate Al Gore with his fallacious movie and now you have political elites trying to move to impose more restrictions and taxes on people to curb CO2 emissions. The left elites often like to refer to themselves as intellectuals yet it seems contrary to even the most casual of layman that they are in fact smart. Just the other day I heard an EU leader clamoring that if we don't do something in the next few days, the world as we know it is over and the environmental damage is irreparable. I have said this many times and will keep saying this until proven wrong but the whole global-warming movement is much less about scientific fact and much more about power and control. If our leaders (and media elites) can convince the populace that the sky is falling then they can pass legislation, ostensibly to 'save mankind' , that will further reduce our liberties as a free society. I am all for clean renewable energy where it makes sense but let's encourage it with carrots rather than beating us with sticks.

From the page: "However, a new study by the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee could turn the climate change world upside down."

The fact the government bodies essentially claim that global warming is man-made and the argument is over while so many scientist make the claim that it is otherwise suggests to me that the government bodies' motives are suspect. I would agree with one of the other reviewers of this page that this is simply an attempt to grab more power and influence over the populace.
